Emiliana

Emiliana’s Coyam and Gê among the world’s finest wines. This year the distinguished publication rated the best 5- and 10- year old wines, awarding 92 points to Coyam 2005 and 91 points to Gê 2005. These high scores clearly show that organic wines retain their level of excellence and quality even after lengthy cellaring.Both wines were also among the 6 most outstanding Chilean wines.

The International Wine Challenge is recognized as the world’s most influential blind tasting body. Each year it issues The Library Collection, a publication listing the best 5- and 10- year old wines, which means that this year the group tasted the 2000 and 2005 vintages. The top-ranked wines included two Emiliana icon wines—Gê (2005) and Coyam (2005).

The judges awarded Coyam 92 points out of a possible 100, commenting on its “violet core, bright rim. Lovely fruity, spicy style on nose. Inviting rich lively fruit, good style and depth.”

For its part, Gê was awarded 91 points for its “deep youthful colour. Nose is sweet, fresh and aromatic–berries with a touch of eucalyptus. Palate is concentrated, dense, spicy, peppery fruit with a touch of soy sauce and eucalyptus. Fine, grainy tannins, high alcohol on the finish but is well balanced with some length. Carmenere flavours dominate.”

In the words of Cristián Rodríguez, Emiliana’s Commercial Manager, “This not only proves that Emiliana’s wines are among the best in international rankings, but also supports our belief that organic and biodynamic wines retain their excellence over time and even improve as they age.”

The scores awarded by the IWC Library Collection ranked Coyam and Gê among Chile’s top 6 wines.
