Emiliana in Chile, one of the world’s largest organic and biodynamic wine producers, is expanding. A completely new vineyard of almost 300 hectares, previously uncultivated land, will be planted in the Maule region. The grapes will be cabernet sauvignon, syrah and carmenère and the first harvest will be in 2023.
The grapes will primarily be used for Emiliana’s very popular range called Adobe, the best-selling organic wine in Chile but which is also doing very well in the export market. (Adobe is actually an old-fashioned sun-dried clay brick used as a building material.)
Emiliana has seen an increase in demand for organic wines worldwide. Emiliana is owned by Chile’s largest wine company Concha y Toro.
