The 'Novas' range by Emiliana is named in honor of the ancient astronomers who observed the night sky for 'nova' stars—symbols of new beginnings and cosmic alignment. This connection to the cosmos perfectly mirrors Emiliana's biodynamic philosophy, where vineyard practices are guided by natural cycles. Sourced from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within the greater Aconcagua region, this Chardonnay benefits from morning fogs and cooling Pacific breezes. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented using a combination of stainless steel tanks to preserve bright, fresh fruit notes, and French oak barrels to introduce subtle complexity, creamy texture, and elegant structure.
