About this wine

Emiliana Salvaje Syrah-Roussanne is a bold and distinctive organic red wine from Chile's renowned Casablanca Valley. With no added sulphites, this natural wine showcases intense black fruit character, savoury complexity and a velvety texture. Deep violet-red in colour with brooding blackberry and black olive notes, it offers a unique expression of sustainable winemaking and coastal terroir. Meet the Producer Emiliana is Chile's leading organic and biodynamic wine producer, pioneering sustainable viticulture in the Casablanca Valley. The estate is committed to ecological farming practices, biodiversity and minimal intervention winemaking. Their Salvaje range celebrates wild, natural wines crafted without added sulphites, allowing the true character of the vineyard to shine through. Vineyard The Syrah and Roussanne grapes are sourced from La Quebrada Vineyard in the La Vinilla zone of Casablanca, situated 380 metres above sea level in the foothills of the Coastal Mountains. The vines are planted in deep granitic colluvial soils with excellent structure and sandy-loam texture, allowing roots to penetrate deeply. This unique terroir, combined with organic farming methods, produces grapes of exceptional quality and character. Winemaking Grapes are hand-picked into bins, transported to the winery and immediately chilled. A double selection process on conveyor belts ensures only the finest fruit is used. After destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a 2-day cold maceration at 6–8°C in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation follows with native yeasts at controlled temperatures of 20–24°C, with pumpovers managed according to ecological criteria. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 5 months—50% in cement egg tanks and 50% in cement truncated cone tanks—before being stabilised without treatments. Tasting Notes Deep violet-red in colour, the wine opens with a distinctive nose of black olive and black forest fru
