If you’ve been a regular reader of this site for long you probably know that when it comes to sauvignon blanc, Chile is one of our favorite regions for producing great wines at great prices.  And the Casablanca Valley is our favorite Sauvignon Blanc region within Chile.  So right there, this wine has something going for it before I even crack it open.

It’s also made with organically grown grapes.  So there’s another thing going for this wine.

Emiliana produces a number of different lines of wine.  Some of them are biodynamic and some are organic.  Natura is one of their organic brands.  This isn’t the first Natura wine I’ve tasted, I previously reviewed the Emiliana Natura Merlot and it was good.  And I’ve previously reviewed the 2008 vintage of the Natura Sauvignon Blanc.

Emiliana Natura Sauvignon Blanc

Their sauvignon blanc is not as intensely tropical as many of those I’ve had from Chile in the past few years, but it still shows some tropical characteristics.  The nose offers primarily pear aromatics, but also has some pineapple, grapefruit and light cut grass aromas.  The palate has good acidity and leads with tart grapefruit flavors, followed by granny smith apples drenched in lime juice.  It finishes with more zesty citrus flavors.

Overall, it’s a nice wine.  It’s not as mind-blowing as some other Casablanca sauvignon blanc I’ve tasted in the past, but it’s a good wine and a good value.
