DOUBLE GOLD TRIUMPH FOR ECOLOGICA

La Riojana was delighted to receive Gold Medals for its two popular Ecologica Fairtrade and Organic certified wines in the Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge. The gold medals were awarded to Ecologica’s Bag in Box wines in March 2023 and were tasted blind by a selected panel of judges, made up of industry professionals including specialised journalists, winemakers, and sommeliers.

Ecologica Familias Torrontes Chardonnay 3 Litre Bag in Box 2022 (60% Torrontes / 40% Chardonnay blend) was awarded a Gold Medal and 86 points and perceived by the competition judges as a “beautifully fresh, rounded and persistent vintage”. 

Ecologica Familias Reserve Shiraz Malbec 3 Litre Bag in Box 2022 (60% Shiraz /40% Malbec blend) was also awarded a Gold Medal and 86 points and was perceived by the competition judges as having “a beautifully smooth palate, with an exotic aspect bringing to mind eucalyptus.”

“Winning gold for both of these Ecologica wines comes as wonderful news” comments Walter Carol, Export Director for La Riojana, “Ecologica has been one of the top selling Argentine wine brands in Sweden for a number of years now and we are delighted that these wines have received the recognition that they deserve. The fact that they are both Fairtrade and Organic makes it even better.”
