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.

The wine is made from a blend Syrah, Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Malbec, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot and Mourvedre grown on soil which contains a mixture of clay and sand, with the depth of the soils 2 -3 metres, optimal for red varieties.

In the winery selection takes place on a conveyor belt to remove any leaves and damaged bunches. The selected bunches were destemmed, and the individual berries were selected by size via a vibrating table for better precision. The grapes were then gently dropped into stainless steel tanks for fermentation with native yeasts at 24º-26ºC with a program of pumpovers determined by oenological criteria. The new wine then remained on its skins for a 5-day post-fermentation maceration at 22º-24ºC, for a total maceration time of 20-25 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 18 months, during which time it stabilises naturally without any treatments.

Perfect with roasted dishes, particularly rich dishes with an exotic note of spice
