Craig scored this wine: 90/100

To my senses, this Rosé from this Chilean producer was lovely. There is an intense energy in this wine. There are cheerful notes of bright citrus, juicy peach, and a memorable chord of tart strawberry. The high point for me, however, was its mouthfeel appeal. Crisp, refreshing, textured, tilting toward medium bodied, with a quick to vanish finish. Low price, but big flavour. This Rosé is food friendly, too. Enjoy I consumed a glass with a grilled hamburger on a sour dough bun dressed w/ sunflower seeds, peppery arugula, and grainy mustard. I’d do it again. Tasted August 2025

The Collection 245 edition of this bubbly gives goodness to my senses, starting from its aromatic point of impact straight through to its (minute +) mouthfeel and finish. How come? Its because there’s a delicious synergy of baked white pear, biscuit, nuttiness, minerality, and traces of saltiness. Its because there’s a memorable mouth feel appeal punctuated with crispy cliffs of texture and under 10g/l of sugar. Oh my. Enjoy. Fine print >>> the bottle label tells me the Collection 245 edition features grapes from the 2020 harvest and aged in oak reserve wines 2010, 2013, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Tasted August 2025

The flow of this Sauvignon Blanc by Emiliana is appealingly crisp, dry, and medium bodied with an emphasis on citrusy, stone fruit, and floral notes. To be more precise, my senses say juicy tangerine, ripe peaches, and white floral fragrances. The combination is cheerful, easy going, and not in the mood to be complicated. All good things in the context of this Sauvignon Blanc at this price point. Enjoy. FYI – this beverage is certified Canada Organic, and Emiliana describes it as vegan.

This Rosé evokes memories of relaxation under warm sunny skies. It is easy going, crisp, with sighs of sweetness. Fresh notes like white peaches, honeydew melons, dialed down red berries and hints of minerality stand centre stage from aroma to finish. Try this chilled with seafood centred appetizers.
