Behind the Cork™ - Veramonte 100% Organic Wines
Veramonte 100% Organic Wines
As we celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, here are the perfect 100% organic wines to celebrate with from Veramonte. These wines are from organically farmed vineyards in Chile. Veramonte follows organic practices throughout their estate, ensuring optimum conditions for vine growth and that the vineyards are sustainable over time. Living, balanced soil produces quality grapes that express the fullest potential of the terroir.
The 2020 Veramonte Organic Sauvignon Blanc ($11.99) is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Casablanca Valley. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright, fresh fruit flavors. It is medium-gold in color and aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, melon and herbs. This is a dry wine (1.44 G/L RS) that is light and refreshing with flavors of green apple and grapefruit. It has good acidity and a refreshing finish.
The 2018 Veramonte Organic Cabernet Sauvignon ($11.99) is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Colchagua Valley. It underwent cold maceration for five days in stainless steel tanks and was fermented with native yeasts. After the primary fermentation, the wine is macerated with its skins for another ten days to achieve greater smoothness and intensity of flavor. It was then aged in neutral French oak barrels for eight months. It’s medium-ruby in color with deep, dark fruit aromas. This Cabernet Sauvignon is fruity with flavors of red fruit and sour cherry. Give this young wine a bit of time in a decanter and enjoy!
