✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Novas' range by Emiliana is named in honor of the ancient astronomers who observed 'new stars' in the night sky, symbolizing the winery's pioneering quest to discover new, natural horizons in organic viticulture. Sourced from the diverse terroirs of Chile's Central Valley, this Gran Reserva blend marries the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the fleshy, spicy character of Syrah and the vibrant acidity and wild berry notes of Carignan. The grapes are grown under strict organic guidelines, respecting the natural rhythms of the land. The wine is typically aged in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel to preserve its bright fruit profile while developing elegant complexity, fine-grained tannins, and a subtle touch of sweet spice.
🍾 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.
