✨ Technical Specifications
Emiliana's Novas Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is named in honor of the 'novas'—the sudden appearance of bright new stars in the night sky that ancient astronomers used to guide their understanding of the cosmos. This connection to the heavens is deeply rooted in Emiliana's biodynamic philosophy, where vineyard cycles are aligned with natural and celestial rhythms. Sourced from organic vineyards within Chile's renowned Central Valley, this wine benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts created by the cooling breezes of the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel before undergoing aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a pure, vibrant expression of Chilean terroir, characterized by its deep ruby color, rich red fruit aromas, subtle spice, and structured, elegant tannins that reflect the estate's commitment to harmony with nature.
🍾 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.
