REGION OVERVIEW
CHILE
Chile is a long thin sliver of land on the West
Coast of South America. It shares a border with
Argentina, Bolivia and Peru and faces out to
the Pacific Ocean. It is approximately 3,000
miles long and never more than 220 miles wide.
It’s mainly of Mediterranean climate with rains
concentrated in winter and spring, and a long
dry season through autumn.
Chile’s geographic position gives rise to unique
and diverse geology that has made it renowned for
wine production. The Atacama Desert to the north,
the Andes Mountains to the east, the Patagonian
ice fields to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to
the west make Chile a veritable agricultural island.
Together they help maintain healthy conditions and
protect vineyards against pests and disease.*
The Chilean landscape also offers a vast mosaic
of terroirs and soil types. Soils are healthy, welldrained, and have a variety of origins (alluvial, colluvial, fluvial, etc.) and textures (loam, clay, sand,
silt). The interaction between the effects of the sea
and those of the Andes result in a growing season
that revels in bright sunny days and temperatures
that take a dramatic dip each night to create the
broad daily temperature oscillation that wine grapes
need to develop fresh fruit flavors, crisp acidity, and
in the case of red wines, ripe tannins, deep color,
and high levels of antioxidants and flavonols.*
CHILEAN WINE LAWS
• D.O. (Denomination of Origin) defines regions,
sub-regions, zones and areas and only establishes
the grapes’ origin.
• Only approved grape varieties may be planted.
Hybrid grapes are strictly forbidden.
• 75% of wine must be from geographic area when
using a denomination of origin.
• Estate bottled may only be used when the winery
and vineyards are located in the same geographic
area within the D.O.
• D.O. wines may use the terms Gran Reserva,
Gran Vino, Reserva, Reserva Especial, Reserva
Privada, Seleccion and Superior. These words do
not have a specific definition and may be used with
a different meaning in each winery.
WINE FACTS
• The main wine regions of Chile follow the valleys
of rivers running down from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean, transecting the 625 mile Central Valley
• Grapes originally planted by the Conquistadors
• Phylloxera – free
• Some of the largest organic vineyards in the world
• Chile’s premium wine growing regions are located
between the 30 & 40 latitudes (Napa Valley is 36)
• Soils differentiate between appellations and range
from sea sand to volcanic rock
• Rated among the finest in the world

ULTRA – PREMIUM TIER OVERVIEW
Gê & COYAM
These wines are the flagship wines of Emiliana’s portfolio. Dynamic red blends, masterpieces of nature.
From the vineyard to the bottle they are cultivated with the utmost purest methods, championing strict
biodynamic principals, with the final product being the ultimate expression of their Chilean Terroir. Their
consistent accolades, as well as their environmental achievements position them as revolutionary and in a
class of their own.
Gê BRAND SUMMARY
After several decades and various generations working in the Chilean countryside, the Emiliana team
thought to pay tribute to the land by incorporating its presence in the name of a wine. A wine which
would be produced under the strictest biodynamic management to achieve the maximum expression. This
gave rise to the idea of calling it Gê, from ancient Greek, meaning land or earth. In Gê, the energy of the
cosmos, earth, and humankind come together in a unique wine with tremendous personality that faithfully reflects the characteristics and attributes of the terroir from which it comes.
COYAM BRAND SUMMARY
Coyam means ‘Oak Forest’ in Mapudungun, the language of the native people of southern Chile.
Inspiration for the name comes from the presence of majestic native trees that have surrounded the Los
Robles Estate in the Colchagua Valley for centuries. The aim of the winemaking team is to achieve the
maximum expression of each grape variety - While climatic conditions give way to differing varietal
proportions, each vintage will have the same spirit and soul, preserving its unique and distinct identity.

Neal Martin, December, 2012
“…It has a harmonious bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and a touch of tobacco that is
nicely focused considering the number of varieties in the blend. The palate is medium-bodied with
blackberry and spice on the entry, bold and assertive tannins that do not upset that balance since there
is ample weight of pure blackberry and cassis…this is a well made wine.”
Coyam 2009
James Molesworth, September, 2011
“Dark and muscular in style, with loam, roasted coffee and dark fig notes backed by more tar, tobacco and
black cherry. Shows solid depth, with nicely buried acidity driving the finish. This has range and character.”
90 Points – Robert Parker
Jay Miller, February, 2012
“Notions of sandalwood, dried herbs, meat, underbrush, blueberry, and blackberry lead to a fullbodied, voluptuous, concentrated wine with succulent fruit, good balance, and several years of aging
potential. Drink this lengthy effort from 2015 to 2024.”
