Coyam is the icon wine of Emiliana, the largest organic winery in the world, and the wine stood out in this international competition judged by Masters of Wine and Master Sommelier s. The wines tasted were an international selection and in all price ranges. The only condition for entry to the competition was that the grapes or wine were certified as organic or biodynamic, according to Master of Wine Patrick Schmitt, editor in chief of” The Drinks Business”. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 245 meters (about 803.81 ft) above sea level and are trained vertically on trellises with a south-facing exposure. They are planted on their own roots, except for the Syrah variety, which uses the 300/174 clones. Most of the vineyards have an East-West orientation because, at the time of planting, they were irrigated using furrows. Starting in the year 2000, drip irrigation was introduced, allowing for the new plantings to change orientation to seek the best exposure. Coyam is a ripe, intense red with plenty of vanilla and toast from oak barriques, and some firm tannins too, along with a touch of alcohol warmth, all of which one would expect from a top-end Chilean wine, but what I like about this flagship biodynamic Emiliana expression is the fruit.
