For Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana, earning these awards not only confirms the winemaking quality achieved by its team, led by Chief Winemaker Emilio Contreras, but also validates its founding commitment on an international level: to prove that organic agriculture, which respects biodiversity and soil life, is not just an environmental commitment, but the definitive path to creating wines of excellence.

These scores for our Gran Reserva and Reserva lines not only reward the exceptional quality consumers find in their glass, but also support our global strategy: proving that it is possible to deliver highly competitive wines while practicing organic agriculture that is responsible toward the environment.”
