Who's been looking for wine distributed in alternative packaging to bring along during hiking, cycling, boating, or fishing trips? I know I have. And I recently received a strong contender from
Winesellers Ltd. a trio of wines packaged in 375ml cans (SRP $5.99). The wines are produced by
Santa Julia, an Argentine brand that leverages their Mendoza location. The winery practices certified organic vineyard management, thus two of these wines are labeled Organic. The
Organic Chardonnay provides a classic unoaked Chardonnay flavor; very refreshing with subtle depth and sufficient acidity. The
Organic Malbec Rosé behaves again as expected, refreshing with layers of strawberries. However, the red
Tintillo is the most interesting as the 50-50 blend of Malbec and Bonarda is fermented using carbonic maceration -- a process where the grapes are fermented intact order to achieve a fruitier wine. It's also designed to drink chilled, or mildly so in my opinion. A fun wine.
Disclosure: We received samples from Santa Julia in order to share our opinion about their products, but this isn’t a sponsored post.
