Organic Wine & Why We Love It
Milder or non-existent hangovers, fewer chemicals, and better for the environment – no wonder organic wine is booming in Malta and around the world! Thanks to the gradual rise in the slow-food, organic trend, young wine-makers are pioneering the shift to more natural, innovative yet ‘how it used to be done’, environmentally kinder ways of growing grapes and producing wine. And it tastes divine! If organic wine is a new world for you, but you’re tempted by the idea of delicious wine that doesn’t punish you the day after - below are some great options to start with!
Le G de Château Guiraud, Bordeaux Blanc Sec (Dry) Probably one of the most gourmet dry white wines in the Bordeaux appellation. A pioneer of sustainable and organic practices in the world of the 1er Grands Crus (the estate has been using them since 1996), the 2020 vintage is their 10th successive organic vintage and has established itself as one of the sure values of the Sauternes 1er Grands Crus Classés. Made organically, the wine is both dense and fresh. The hint of hazelnut butter combines with peach, tangerine and citrus notes, ending in a lively and seductive finish on the palate Imported & Distributed by Vintage 82 T: +356 7928 8036 E: andrew@vintage82.eu W: www.vintage82.eu
