Pale yellow in colour, the nose has fruity aromas of apricots and orange with jasmine notes. Rich palate with bright apricot and tropical fruit with notes of toasted almonds, butter and spice. The finish is robust and creamy with a good backbone of acidity.

Voted by Wines of Chile as "Winery of the Year 2016", 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.

Located 40km southeast of Valparaiso, the Casablanca Valley is renowned for its favourable climate for white varieties, especially Chardonnay. The region benefits from a temperate-to-warm climate with maritime influences from coastal breezes, keeping average summer temperatures at around 26°C (79°F). This slow ripening process results in aromatic and fruity wines with expressive flavours. The soil in the valley is alluvial with sandy-loam texture and moderate fertility, ideal for cultivating high-quality grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested from small, high-quality blocks.

Once harvested, the grapes are sorted and gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The must is kept cold on its lees for six days before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts takes place in a combination of barrels, foudres, and egg-shaped concrete tanks. After fermentation, the wine remains unracked on its lees for nine months. It is aged in a mix of 60% French barrels, 16% French wood foudres, 15% ovoid concrete vats, and 9% stainless steel tanks, contributing to its complexity and depth.

This serious structured effortless wine deserves fine hard cheese or a poulette if you can find one and if not your best roast chicken.
