This Rosé is a 68/32% traditional method blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, charmingly aromatic, pale, refreshingly crisp and absolutely delightful to drink.

Emiliana is one of Chile's most exciting producers and pioneers in organic and biodynamic winemaking. Since 1998, this Chiliean winery has been producing award-winning wines from almost 1000 hectares of vineyards in prime sites including Casablanca, Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua and Bio Bio.

The Casablanca Valley is close to the Pacific Ocean and receives its maritime influence through coastal breezes that moderate temperature conditions. The terrain includes rolling hills and mountains that increase in height towards the east, where it meets with the coastal range. The soils are of alluvial origin, with sandy loam textures. The are highly permeable, shallow and poor in nutrients which results in yields that are relatively low in comparison with other valleys in Chile. This, plus cooler temperature conditions result in very slow ripening and fruit with tremendous flavour and aromas in varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and others.

The grapes were hand picked into bins and transported immediately from the Casablanca Valley to the winery in Palmeras. Upon arriving the grapes were refrigerated overnight and pressed the following day. The must was decanted to obtain clean juice for fermentation. Upon completion of the fermentation process, the new wine was left on its fine lees with weekly battonage to enhance complexity. The wine then begins the process of developing its foam through a second fermentation using the tradition method in the bottle for 1-2 months and then the wine remains 6 months in contact with its lees. They are then disgorged and the dosage is added.
