Emiliana

Aromas of ripe stone fruits, figs and dried herbs, with a grassy Sauvignon tang beneath the Orange structure.

Producer Information

Emiliana is one of Chile`s most exciting producers and pioneers in organic and biodynamic winemaking. 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

This Orange wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Casablanca Valley where the vineyards are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean and the Humboldt Current. With high humidity rates, its average temperatures reach 25°C in summer and 14°C in winter. The grapes were destemmed and crushed, and left with their skins. They fermented in concrete tanks at approximately 18º C, soft punch downs obtained a subtle extraction. Once the fermentation was finished, the wine was aged in concrete eggs for five months with the skins. After that, it was prepared for bottling.

Tasting Note

Golden orange in colour and aromas of ripe stone fruits, figs and dried herbs on the nose. Where as most Orange wines anonymise varietal, Animalia actually has a grassy Sauvignon tang beneath the Orange structure. Clever, tasty stuff from Emiliana.

Food Matching

This is a versatile wine that makes a great pairing with cheeses and charcuterie. It can also be served to match with white meats and fish.
