About this winery

With over 60 years of professional experience, Santa Ema are pioneers in the Maipo Valley where they are always searching for the best expressions of terroir, from the mountains to the coast. The beginnings of Santa Ema date back to the beginning of the 20th century, when don Pedro Pavone Voglino, an Italian immigrant, sportsperson, and businessman, discovered a great terroir in Isla de Maipo, where the head offices still operate today.

Product notes

The 2019 season was marked by a very dry winter, followed by a cool, rainy spring. This provoked a late veraison, but a warm, sunny summer allowed the grapes that were a little behind in their ripening process to ripen, and even move forward the harvest of the white grapes. The fall continued warm and dry, ending with a uniform ripening of the red grapes, finally arriving at harvest with well-ripened healthy grapes. The yields were within what was expected, both in quality and quantity.

Production notes

This wine goes through an extensive cold maceration for 5 days at 10°C to extract aromas. The juice is then fermented for 12 days with a post-fermentation maceration of 19-22 days using wild yeasts. Aged for 12 months in barrel. Barrel selection varies depending on vineyard and vintage - First, second and third use barrels used.

Tasting notes

Very complex with aromas of fresh-cut grass, passion fruit, and grapefruit, all framed by mineral notes. A perfectly balanced palate with firm expression and a long, refreshing finish. Pair with oysters, ceviches, fresh shellfish, goat cheese, and baked or grilled white fish.

January 2023 (Vintage 2022)

A generous body of ripe white fruit along with intense acidity that recalls limes, this moves through the mouth refreshing everything in its path. It's a big white, a sauvignon for ceviche, but it’s also ideal for quenching thirst. It comes from vineyards near the coast of the Leyda Valley, in the hills of the Coastal Range.

February 2023 (Vintage 2022)

Aromas of sliced apples, pear skins, guava and mint. Medium-bodied with pungent acidity. Crisp and tangy with a citrusy finish.
