Emiliana Novas Gran Reserva Carmenere Colchagua Valley 2023

The Colchagua Valley, nestled within Chile’s larger Rapel Valley, is one of the country’s most prestigious wine regions, celebrated for its bold, sun-drenched red wines. Sheltered between the Andes and the Coastal Range, this valley benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, ideal for producing ripe yet balanced fruit. Colchagua is particularly renowned for its rich, full-bodied expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Syrah, and Malbec, though elegant whites from higher-altitude sites are also gaining attention. A mix of modern winemaking and deep-rooted tradition, the region is home to both historic estates and innovative boutique producers, all working to capture the valley’s diverse terroirs. With its consistent quality and dynamic character, Colchagua Valley continues to be a cornerstone of Chilean fine wine.
