Viņedos Organicos Emiliana

Viņedos Organicos Emiliana is a wine producer located in Colchagua Valley, Chile.

For a Chilean winery, Viņedos Organicos Emiliana is unusual. It is dedicated to producing environmentally responsible wines, initially organically, but then the goal is for it to adopt biodynamics. The man at the helm of the project, which started in 2000 with the backing of parent company Vina Santa Emiliana, is Alvaro Espinoza, formerly winemaker with Carmen. Alvaro is a true pioneer, and has been single-handedly responsible for introducing biodynamic viticulture into South America. Santa Emiliana selected three farms in the regions of Maipo, Casablanca and Colchagua, totalling a substantial 240 ha, to form the basis of this project, so it is a serious commercial operation and not just a token green-friendly PR gesture.
