✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within the broader Aconcagua region, Signos de Origen 'La Vinilla' is a beautifully crafted white blend that showcases Emiliana's dedication to biodynamic viticulture. The wine is named after the historic La Vinilla vineyard, where the vines benefit from the cooling influence of morning fogs and ocean breezes sweeping in from the Pacific. This unique microclimate allows for a slow ripening process, preserving vibrant acidity while developing intense aromatic complexity. The blend typically marries the structure of Chardonnay with the aromatic lift of Rhône varieties like Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, partially fermented and aged in French oak barrels and concrete eggs to add texture, creaminess, and complexity without overshadowing the pristine fruit.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1986 by Rafael and José Guilisasti, Emiliana underwent a groundbreaking paradigm shift in 1998 under the viticultural counsel of Álvaro Espinoza, evolving into the world's largest certified organic and biodynamic wine estate. Emiliana manages extensive vineyard holdings spanning Chile's top macro-regions, from maritime-cooled Casablanca and San Antonio in Aconcagua to the warm alluvial terraces of the Central Valley and southern terroirs. The viticultural philosophy centers on holistic agroecology: zero synthetic inputs, active cover cropping, animal integration, and strict alignment with Demeter biodynamic rhythms. In the cellar, head winemaker Noelia Orts preserves pure terroir transparency through temperature-controlled stainless steel, gentle oak aging, and native fermentations. For whites and sparkling expressions, maritime fog and decomposed granitic soils impart electric acidity and pronounced salinity, reflected in single-vineyard benchmarks like Signos de Origen La Vinilla, the precision-driven Novas Gran Reserva whites, and vibrant, unadulterated Natura cuvées.
