Why it matters
The producer
More than 1,000 hectares are managed organically and biodynamically at Emiliana Organic Vineyards. The producer has sought suitable Chilean valleys for each grape variety from the beginning, building a range that moves across Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Biobío and Limarí.
Adobe is Emiliana's Reserva line, made with organic grapes. Novas is the organic Gran Reserva line. The range also includes Coyam and Gê, with Gê identified as a Colchagua Valley blend. Emiliana's farming and winemaking use products of natural origin, carrying that choice from the vineyard into the cellar.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Emiliana's vineyards spread across Chilean valleys with different conditions for different grapes. The named regions include Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Biobío and Limarí.
At Los Morros in Maipo, Emiliana produces its highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. At Mulchén in Biobío, the vineyards grow Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Casablanca is the home of the producer's Viognier, including Novas Viognier.
In the cellar
Vineyards and cellar
Emiliana's Las Palmeras and Los Robles cellars are in Colchagua, and both were designed to minimize environmental impact. The producer uses products of natural origin in farming and winemaking, while its organic program excludes genetically modified organisms and toxic synthetic agrochemicals.
Organic fertilizers and compost are incorporated for soil regeneration and carbon capture. All Emiliana wines are certified to use the Vegan Society trademark, indicating production without animal derived products.
