Emiliana, Adobe Organic Malbec 2019
Rapel, Chile, Dry Red, Screwcap, 13.5% abv(2021) Festooned with certificates on the back label to prove this is organic, Fairtrade, vegan-friendly, carbon-neutral and more, this is a wine from the eco-minded Emiliana in Rapel Valley, Chile, and more importantly perhaps, it is delicious. Around 20% was aged in oak barrels to add an extra layer of creamy vanilla on top of the deep, brightly cherry-fruited aromas and flavours, silky on the palate with creamy tannins and moderate acidity, it does have some depth, hints of mocha, and is a cracking little wine for under £9.
