Emiliana Salvaje Syrah - Roussanne Organic 2021
Emiliana Salvaje Syrah-Roussanne is a bold and distinctive organic red wine from Chile's renowned Casablanca Valley. With no added sulphites, this natural wine showcases intense black fruit character, savoury complexity and a velvety texture. Deep violet-red in colour with brooding blackberry and black olive notes, it offers a unique expression of sustainable winemaking and coastal terroir. Meet the Producer Emiliana is Chile's leading organic and biodynamic wine producer, pioneering sustainable viticulture in the Casablanca Valley. The estate is committed to ecological farming practices, biodiversity and minimal intervention winemaking. Their Salvaje range celebrates wild, natural wines crafted without added sulphites, allowing the true character of the vineyard to shine through. Vineyard The Syrah and Roussanne grapes are sourced from La Quebrada Vineyard in the La Vinilla zone of Casablanca, situated 380 metres above sea level in the foothills of the Coastal Mountains. The vines are planted in deep granitic colluvial soils with excellent structure and sandy-loam texture, allowing roots to penetrate deeply. This unique terroir, combined with organic farming methods, produces grapes of exceptional quality and character. Winemaking Grapes are hand-picked into bins, transported to the winery and immediately chilled. A double selection process on conveyor belts ensures only the finest fruit is used. After destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a 2-day cold maceration at 6–8°C in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation follows with native yeasts at controlled temperatures of 20–24°C, with pumpovers managed according to ecological criteria. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 5 months—50% in cement egg tanks and 50% in cement truncated cone tanks—before being stabilised without treatments. Tasting Notes Deep violet-red in colour, the wine opens with a distinctive nose of black olive and black forest fru
Wildeberg Coterie Cabernet Franc Malbec 2023
Wildeberg The Coterie is a premium South African red crafted from hand-harvested Cabernet Franc and Malbec grown in the renowned vineyards of Franschhoek and Paarl. Naturally fermented and aged for 20 months in French and Austrian oak, this is an elegant, terroir-driven blend of real depth and refinement. Why You'll Love It The Coterie is Wildeberg's statement of intent: a wine made with minimal intervention and maximum respect for its origins. Whole bunch and whole berry fermentation with no crushing places the emphasis firmly on terroir over variety, allowing Franschhoek and Paarl to speak clearly through the glass. Twenty months in a combination of new and seasoned French and Austrian oak adds complexity and structure without overpowering the vibrant fruit character. This is South African fine wine at a price that makes it genuinely accessible. Vineyard and Production Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes are hand-picked from vineyards in Franschhoek and Paarl. Fermentation is carried out naturally using whole bunches and whole berries with no crushing, and minimal intervention throughout to emphasise terroir. The wine is then aged for 20 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and Austrian oak barrels to develop depth, complexity, and a well-integrated structure. Tasting Notes Ripe and expressive on the nose, with aromas of cherry, wild plum, blackberry, brown spice, and star anise. The palate is robust and richly flavoured, showing concentrated damson fruit, juicy acidity, and a savoury mid-palate with gentle oak spice. The finish is fresh and sappy, supported by fine, integrated tannins. Perfect Pairings A natural match for grilled meats, particularly lamb, as well as spiced dishes, hearty casseroles, and Mediterranean or North African-inspired cuisine. Also excellent alongside slow-roasted beef and aged hard cheeses. The Blend Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
