Noelia Orts was born and brought up in Benidorm, but after studying viticulture and oenology and Spain, and an overseas harvest in New Zealand, moved to Chile in 2009, where she is in charge of the premium wine portfolio at Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana. Our chat covered her love of travel, cover crops, the art of blending, climate change and what it’s like being involved with the largest organic and biodynamic estate on the planet.

To read more about Noelia have a look at the Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @noeliaorganicwine.
