Producer Information

Voted by Wines of Chile as "Winery of the Year 2016", Emiliana is one of Chile`s most exciting producers and pioneers in organic and biodynamic winemaking. Since 1998, this Chilean winery has been producing award-winning wines from almost 1,000 hectares of vineyards in prime sites including Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua and Bio Bio.

Its spectacular biodynamic vineyard and winery at Los Robles is a model that attracts visiting viticulturalists and winemakers from across the world. Emiliana`s innovative and natural-leaning wines are made with great care and attention and the results are inspiring.

Wine Making

The grapes were manually harvested in mid April. Vinification begins with a pre-fermentation cold soak at 8°C for a week in order to extract the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation takes place between 25°C and 28°C with a pump over program determined by daily tasting. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel tanks and 20% of the wine was aged in barrels for 6 months; after this the wine blended in order to obtain a more complex character.

Tasting Note

Red cherry aromas elegantly combine with subtle black pepper notes. A delicate wood influence contributes complexity, good structure and rounded tannins.

Food Matching

Ideal with lean red meats and white meats such as chicken and turkey. Also pairs well with ripe cheeses and a pleasing companion to vegetable stews and pastas with mild sauces.
