✨ 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
Founded in 1986 by the Guilisasti family, Emiliana has grown to become the world's leading producer of organic and biodynamic wines. In the late 1990s, visionary director Rafael Guilisasti partnered with renowned consulting winemaker Álvaro Espinoza to pioneer ecological viticulture across Chile's most prestigious wine regions, including the Casablanca, Maipo, Colchagua, and Cachapoal Valleys. Guided by Demeter-certified biodynamic farming principles, Emiliana eliminates synthetic inputs in favor of natural preparations and native biodiversity to authentically reflect terroir. The estate is widely celebrated for its flagship biodynamic red blends, notably Coyam and Gê, as well as expressive single-vineyard expressions of Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.
