Account Fairtrade Wine - Los Robles Sauvignon Blanc Chile
Product Ref: 5500/9685213
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes that are hand picked, the wine is goldish-green in colour with intense herbal and floral scents; a fresh and crisp wine with a hint of fruit and fresh herbs. A perfect accompaniment to lobster, oysters, scallops and fish – also good with cakes and desserts! This is a good quality, typical 'New World' Sauvignon, displaying lovely crisp, dry flavours with a gentle hint of gooseberries. . This co-operative was formed to help re-build the local community and ensures local small-scale farmers receive a fair price for their grapes.
”Chile's Los Robles co-operative, formed by local farmers after a devastating earthquake in 1939, is one of the best examples of ethical wine trading, with a thriving wine business and workers who have access to medical centres, canteens, housing projects, educational bursaries and even river-diverting schemes to allow the poorest farmers to harvest their grapes safely.” Jane MacQuitty, The Times.
