Tasting notes:
Emiliana Animalia Organic Orange Wine. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, figs and dried apricot on the nose. Warm sandy textural nose characteristic of wine from hot dry country. The palate follows with more dried apricot. Clever, tasty stuff from Emiliana.
Food Match:
This is a versatile wine that makes a great pairing with cheeses and charcuterie. It can also be served to match with white meats and fish.
Region/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.

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.

All wines are also certified to use the Vegan Society trademark, which attests that its wines are produced without any animal-derived products.
Vinification: Emiliana Animalia Organic Orange Wine
This Orange wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Casablanca Valley where the vineyards are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean and the Humboldt Current. With high humidity rates, its average temperatures reach 25°C in summer and 14°C in winter. The grapes were destemmed and crushed and left with their skins. They are fermented in concrete tanks at approximately 18º C, soft punch downs obtained a subtle extraction. Once the fermentation was finished, the wine is aged in concrete eggs for five months with the skins. After that, it is prepared for bottling.
