Juicy, organic Merlot with fruit and freshness in abundance.

Production

The grapes were manually harvested and vinification begins with a prefermentation cold soak at 8°C for a week in order to extract the fruit. Alcoholic fermentation takes place between 25°C and 28°C with a pumpover program determined by daily tasting. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel tanks and 20% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 6 months; after this the wine blended in order to obtain a more complex character.

Tasting notes

hugely varietal nose with ripe dark plum flesh and leafy notes, refelcted on a palate of rich, fleshy fruit, earthy notes and dark spice.

Food match

Ideal with lean red meats and white meats such as chicken and turkey. Also pairs well with ripe cheeses such as Camembert, Roquefort, Mozzarella, and Gruyere, with goat cheese, and with nuts, walnuts, and dried figs. A pleasing companion to vegetable stews and pastas with mild sauces.

    Meet the Producer

    Emiliana is one of Chile's most exciting producers and pioneers in organic and biodynamic winemaking. Since 1998, this Chilean winery has been producing award-winning wines from almost 1,000 hectares of vineyards in prime sites including Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua and Bio Bio.

    Its spectacular biodynamic vineyard and winery at Los Robles is a model that attracts visiting viticulturalists and winemakers from across the world. Emiliana's innovative and natural-leaning wines are made with great care and attention and the results are inspiring.

    A Note on Sustainability

    Emiliana is the first Chilean company to become Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC®), an international accreditation for regenerative organic agriculture which currently represents the highest standard of sustainable agriculture in the world. The practices of this certification pursue healthy soils, animal welfare, and dignity for workers. In January 2023 Emiliana furthered their commitment to sustainable practices and obtained B Corp Certification. This international accreditation highlights the world's largest organic winery as a company that meets high standards of social, environmental, and economic impact.

    Emiliana began its conversion to organic production in 1998, and today 100% of its properties are organically managed. It is the world’s largest organic winery. Emiliana was the first winery in Latin America to produce a wine with biodynamic certification. Since then, the use of biodynamic practices at its farms and cellars has been accredited. All wines are also certified to use the Vegan Society trademark, which attests that its wines are produced without any animal-derived products.
