Santa Ema

Central Valley reds: Carménère, Cabernet, and Syrah-driven blends.

Santa Ema produces wines from Chile's Central Valley, a region defined by its warm days, cool nights, and diverse soil compositions that support both classic Bordeaux varieties and the distinctly Chilean Carménère. The winery's portfolio centers on red blends and single varietals that draw from this terroir. Rivalta Red, a blend of Shiraz/Syrah, Carménère, and Cabernet Sauvignon, represents the winery's approach to combining structure with ripe fruit character. Amplus One Carmenère showcases the varietal in its pure form—a grape that thrives in the Central Valley's conditions and has become emblematic of Chilean winemaking. The 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenere blend demonstrates how these two varieties complement each other, with Cabernet providing framework and Carménère adding textural complexity. These wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff.
