✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the Latin word for 'new stars'—a tribute to the historic astronomical observations of Tycho Brahe—Emiliana's Novas range celebrates the cosmic relationship between the night sky and biodynamic viticulture. Sourced from the warm, Mediterranean-influenced terroirs of Chile's Central Valley, this blend marries the vibrant, juicy red-fruit character of Garnacha with the deep, savory structure and spice of Syrah. The grapes are cultivated using organic practices that foster biodiversity and soil health, allowing the unique alluvial soils to express themselves fully. The wine is carefully crafted to balance fresh wild berry aromas, cracked black pepper, and subtle herbal undertones, offering an authentic and expressive Chilean take on the classic Rhône-style blend.
🍾 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.
