Antiyal is a small family owened winery, in the Maipo Valley. We started our organic production of grapes in 1996 when we planted our hectare of Cabernet Sauvignon. We also have one hectare of Carmenere and Syrah.We started our biodynamic practices around May 1999. For Alvaro Espinoza, the winemaker, the concept of terroir is very important, and we have found that through these practices we are able to really discover our terroir without any exterior inputs in our vineyards.Antiyal is born because of the desire to make an excellent quality wine, respecting our environment. Antiyal is a wine with character, a personal wine, hand made in our small winery, we make around 5000 bottles a year.

In 1998, after a rigorous selection, Viñedos Emiliana S.A., one of the most important exported and well known Chilean wineries, contributed its best vineyards from the Casablanca, Maipo and Colchagua Valleys to an organic and Biodynamic farming effort, thus creating VOE, a project that is unique in Chile and a pioneer in Latin America. That is how viticulture arose in response to our interests. It combines the sustainability of viticulture with the ongoing search for quality.We have 448.09 hectares organically and biodynamically managed and Certified by IMO and DEMETER respectively.This vision has led us to build a vinification and storage structure oriented towards high quality processes, where grapes and wines are treated gently in order to conserve their particular content.The human resources of VOE are our principal asset. They are the spirit of VOE and are committed to quality, environmental care and social responsibility.At Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana, quality is constant, from the selection of the land to cultivation, harvesting and finally, to the most meticulous details of vinification and storage. At VOE, quality and respect for man and nature are the pillars of our work.
