✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Adobe' line pays homage to the traditional, earth-based clay bricks used in historic Chilean architecture, symbolizing Emiliana's foundational commitment to organic viticulture and harmony with the land. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in the Aconcagua region, these vines benefit from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and morning fogs, which slow ripening and preserve the grape's natural acidity. To maintain its vibrant, fruit-forward character, the wine is fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a fresh, clean, and expressive representation of Chilean Chardonnay that honors its natural origins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1986 by Rafael and José Guilisasti, Emiliana underwent a groundbreaking paradigm shift in 1998 under the viticultural counsel of Álvaro Espinoza, evolving into the world's largest certified organic and biodynamic wine estate. Emiliana manages extensive vineyard holdings spanning Chile's top macro-regions, from maritime-cooled Casablanca and San Antonio in Aconcagua to the warm alluvial terraces of the Central Valley and southern terroirs. The viticultural philosophy centers on holistic agroecology: zero synthetic inputs, active cover cropping, animal integration, and strict alignment with Demeter biodynamic rhythms. In the cellar, head winemaker Noelia Orts preserves pure terroir transparency through temperature-controlled stainless steel, gentle oak aging, and native fermentations. For whites and sparkling expressions, maritime fog and decomposed granitic soils impart electric acidity and pronounced salinity, reflected in single-vineyard benchmarks like Signos de Origen La Vinilla, the precision-driven Novas Gran Reserva whites, and vibrant, unadulterated Natura cuvées.
