✨ Technical Specifications
Emiliana's 'Novas' range is named after the astronomical phenomenon of 'novae'—new, bright stars that illuminate the night sky, symbolizing the winery's deep connection to the cosmos and biodynamic farming principles. Sourced from the cool, wind-swept vineyards of Chile's southern Bío-Bío Valley, this Gran Reserva Riesling thrives in a climate defined by cold nights and abundant rainfall. The slow ripening process allows the grapes to develop a complex aromatic profile of lime, white peach, and jasmine, underpinned by a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity. Fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, this wine beautifully showcases the potential of cool-climate Chilean white wines.
🍾 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.
