Emiliana's Natura Merlot is a pure testament to the estate's pioneering dedication to organic viticulture in Chile. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Central Valley, this wine is crafted to capture the vibrant, unadulterated essence of the grape. The vines thrive in a Mediterranean climate where warm, sunny days are tempered by cool evening breezes, allowing the Merlot grapes to ripen slowly and develop rich, expressive flavors while retaining balanced acidity. In the cellar, the focus is on minimal intervention to preserve the bright, primary fruit characteristics of dark plums, cherries, and subtle herbal undertones. The Natura line itself is a tribute to the natural biodiversity of Chile's valleys, where native flora and fauna are integrated into the vineyard ecosystem to create a self-sustaining environment.
