Recently, the trend towards wines has become increasingly popular in Singapore. Consumers have shifted their focus towards their health and environmental conservation, and as such, organic and natural wines with no synthetic additives are now a requirement. This is not simply about preference; it is also about the origins of the products that we consume and how they are produced. Well, with the wine delivery Singapore gaining popularity, wine lovers can now taste wines from different parts of the world without leaving their homes.
Natural wines are mainly organic or biodynamic and are made from grapes with little or no chemicals added to the process. This means no artificial yeast, little to moderate use of sulfite, and efforts made to retain the taste of grapes. Singaporeans who love their wine and are always on the lookout for wines that are new to their palate embrace these wines not only for the taste alone but also for the perceived health benefits. This blog will explore some of the standout examples of organic wines available in Singapore. Here are some of the best organic wines, which have gained popularity -
1. Montgras Day One Pinot Noir
From the legendary Montgras winery in Chile, the Pinot Noir is a beauty. This beautifully balanced fruit drink is versatile for all occasions. Organic farming practices throughout the making of this wine ensure no toxic chemicals are included, enhancing the quality of this wine. Its light body and red berry flavour make it suitable for pairing with grilled salmon or a charcuterie board.
2. Tiki Single Vineyard Riesling
For those who enjoy dry aromatic wines, Tiki Single Vineyard Riesling can be recommended without any doubt. This organic Riesling has bright citrus and stone fruits mingled with zesty acidity. It has the climate-friendly profile to go do its thing on an off-plan mealtime snack on the lawn or beneath the chandelier of night parties. It’s best to pair it with spicy Asian food to help balance out the sweetness.
3. Finca Lalande Organic Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine originates from Argentina, and the taste profile showcases an intense and full-bodied wine characterised by dark fruit end tones with a delicate hint of vanilla and spices due to the oak fermentation. The fact that it is organically grown comes out through its deep body and soft tannins, complimenting the wine best with a stern piece of meat or a platter of fine cheese.
4. Domaine Bousquet Organic GAIA Red Blend
This wine has good proportions of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, resulting in a rich, well-balanced wine with a tinge of herbed berry flavour and velvety taste. Its organic certification is also a stamp for responsible wine production that would be ideal for the environmentally conscious end consumer.
5. Tiki Estate North Canterbury Pinot Noir
This is one of the rare Pinot Noirs originating from Tiki Estate located in North Canterbury, New Zealand. This is an organic wine and has rich cherry and raspberry flavours; a well-balanced wine with a smooth texture. Perfect for combination with roasted duck or mushroom risotto, this wine can be named as perfect for any connoisseur.
6. Paxton MV Shiraz 2020
A bold Shiraz wine with very dark fruit flavours, a hint of pepper and a firm underlying dusty character. This makes it a great fit for barbecues or any dish that features proteins as the primary protein source. The focus at Paxton is to produce wine through biodynamic methods, so you are getting delicious wine with environmentally friendly methods.
7. Simple Organics Blood Orange
For something a little more challengingly unique, the Simple Organics Blood Orange is another organic wine that messes around with taste profiles. This wine mixes fruits, those sweet and tangy fruits that can render any drink so delicious for summer consumption.
