Gê 2023 once again reaches 98 points from James Suckling, and Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana earns outstanding ratings across its brands
Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana marked a new milestone in high-end viticulture after receiving extraordinary ratings in the latest report by influential international critic James Suckling. The recognition was led by the icon blend Gê 2023, which reached a superb 98 points, positioning itself in the true elite of wines globally and demonstrating the maximum qualitative potential of organic agriculture.
This resounding result extended across the premium lines. Coyam 2024, the flagship organic blend, achieved 94 points, the same score obtained by the exceptional 57 Rocas Carmenere 2023, confirming the qualitative consistency that the world’s largest organic winery consolidates vintage after vintage.
The high scores, evaluated during tasting sessions held in Chile and Hong Kong, ratify that the chemical-free farming model focused on biodiversity is a fundamental technical tool to achieve unmatched purity and expression of origin.
Full list of scores and James Suckling tasting notes:

An exceptional Carmenère from the Colchagua Valley, standing out for its balance, intensity, and elegance.
