Named in tribute to Doña Emilia, a beloved figure in the winery's history celebrated for her warmth and hospitality, the Emilia range captures a youthful, vibrant side of Mendoza's winemaking. This Dulce Natural is crafted from Moscatel de Alejandría, an ancient grape variety that thrives in the sun-drenched, high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. To achieve its delicate sweetness, the fermentation process is stopped early using precise temperature control, preserving the grape's natural residual sugars and intense primary aromas. The result is a highly expressive, aromatic white wine that beautifully balances luscious sweetness with a refreshing, crisp acidity, reflecting the bright sunshine and cool mountain nights of its Andean terroir.
