Organic Ecologica Torront\u00e9s Brut 2019 ***(*)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWine is one of the Oxfam-Wereldwinkels’ prime products. Chile is the main provider, followed by Argentina and recently South Africa: fair quality straight from the South.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxfam Fair Trade buys this sparkling wine made of the local torrontes grape at La Riojana<\/a>‘s, a cooperation in the dry North West of Argentina where few crops grow.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new ‘organic’ sparkling wine is a refreshing aperitif<\/strong> with a light yellow-gold hue and a continuous string of fine pearls. Scents of white flowers alternate with subtle aromas of peach, ripe apple and citrus peel. A pure pleasure in the taste: fruity, fresh, elegant and juicy<\/strong>, dry enough and with a fine length. An outstanding starter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic RAZA Selection Chardonnay 2018 ****<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother newcomer in the La Riojana<\/a> range is this chardonnay ripened in French oak barrels. Wine maker Rodolfo Griguol and his team clearly focus on high quality wines for exportation<\/strong>. He is gradually converting to organic farming. By 2025 La Riojana wants to be 100% fair trade and 100% organically certified.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fresh light straw-yellow colour sparkles in the glass. Aromatically intense: floral, tropical fruit, peach, pineapple, vanilla, a little smoke and zest. The taste is pure and refined, harmonious and well typed. The perfectly integrated oak tones, the charming style, the delicate semi-sweetness, its elegance and good acids on top turn this chardonnay into an excellent version to go with sauced fish dishes<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em>

Organic Lautaro Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2014 ****<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the Chileans partners at Oxfam Fair Trade is the small cooperation Sagrada Familia<\/a>. 22 farmer from the Lontu\u00e9 valley in Central Chile became grape farmers and wine exporters. Two of its members have more remote and organically certified vineyards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gran reserva which refers to an 18 months barrel ripening<\/strong>, has a beautiful cherry-red colour with a slightly subdued rim. Cedar, sweet cherry, pepper and graphite make up the bouquet that you immediately relate to Cabernet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mouth this is followed by a powerful and solid filling with round tannins in the mid-palate and some clove and licorice in the finish. A tasty, balanced wine<\/strong> with a light alcohol peak in the length. An excellent wine to go with winter stews.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
