Viña Leyda, a Leyda Valley pioneer, has been present in the San Antonio Valley since 1998. In 2001, Viña Leyda succeeded in registering the Leyda Valley Denomination of Origin by demonstrating the area's unique, privileged conditions: its coastal Mediterranean climate and vineyards planted in ancient soils that are over 120 million years old and situated just 4km from the Pacific Ocean.
Today, Viña Leyda is internationally recognised as a boutique winery, which produces the finest Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc in Chile. It should be noted that in only 20 years, it has positioned itself as the most acclaimed coastal winery in Chile with international accolades. This achievement is thanks to the outstanding viticultural and winemaking golden duo, Viviana Navarrete and Tomás Rivera, who have applied their knowledge and philosophy to making wines that are in touch with and best express the cool climate and soils of granitic origin in the Coastal Mountain Range.
The winery focusses on expressing the very best terroir and varietal expression by carrying out exploratory work to select the varieties appropriate for the cool climate and by seeking balance and intervening with the plant as little as possible to ensure that it is connected to the land and merely guided by humans.
This Sauvignon Blanc is a pure wine that is true to the variety. It has great aromatic intensity, clearly revealing its cool-climate character. The plots in the El Maitén vineyard have soils that are granitic (which lend the palate vibrancy and juiciness) and red clay (which provide creaminess and viscosity). The soils of the El Granito vineyard are on marine terraces with granite in the profile, delivering wines of greater aromatic intensity with fresh mouths and great depth.
Appearance: Pale yellow with green hues. Nose: The nose has great expression and aromatic intensity, revealing citrus fruit like grapefruit, limes and mandarins, along with herbaceous notes like freshly mown grass and lemon verbena. Palate: In the mouth, this is a well-balanced wine with crisp, racy acidity, a creamy texture and a citrus note in the finish.
Contains Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites. Keep between 12 - 15 °C. Ideal as appetiser or enjoy with fresh fish. Serve at 10 °C.
