Emiliana Salvaje No Sulfites Added Syrah Roussanne
£14.95
Taste
Savoury, Wild black berries
Aroma
Ripe blackcurrants and roasted tomato
Description
Product Code: ECC31
In this area of the Casablanca Valley, the cooling effect of the Humboldt current offshore helps the important slow and even ripening of these grapes, which are handpicked into small bins, and immediately chilled when they reach the winery. A careful vinification excluding oxygen follows, with ageing in stainless steel tanks. Inky purple in colour, the nose is of ripe black fruits and earthy forest floor. On the palate, hints of pepper and nutmeg with blueberry and blackberry. The addition of 7% white Roussanne grapes adds elegance and balance to this deliciously pure no sulphites added wine.
- 95 Points, Value Gold, Decanter: “Fresh nose of dense cassis, blueberry and violet notes. Concentrated, slightly reductive, but very youthful and bright, with some wild rough edges that suit its gastronomic style.” (2021 vintage)
- 92 Points, Decanter: “Plump organic wine from Chile’s cool Casablanca Valley, Syrah with a dash of Roussanne. Salvaje means ‘wild’ in Spanish. Dark ruby with a gorgeous ripe blackcurrant and tomato leaf nose. Dense, soft, juicy black fruits and savoury grilled meat notes. Glossy, elegant, good-value no-sulphite wine.” (2018 vintage)

Full bodied
This is a seriously big wine, but not too tannic just loads of jammy fruit flavours.

Terrible
When considered against the no sulphur range and Waverley Hills as a benchmark this was terrible.
Wino –
Very surprised!
Soo much depth of flavour in this wine, lots of dark fruit with a very smooth finish.
Liepo –
Dark velvet and intense. A super wine.
