Viticulture

The Leyda Valley is located around the mouth of the Maipo River. Its Mediterranean climate is under strong Pacific Ocean influence, which results in morning fogs, cool breezes that blow from the coast, winters with moderate rainfall. In Leyda, the soil is mainly granitic and has low organic matter content.

Vinification

Handpicked once they had reached optimal ripeness, the grapes used in this Sauvignon Blanc were pressed and their juice fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. The wine was kept on its lees for a month for enhanced creaminess and elegance. Following fermentation and natural sedimentation, the best lots were selected to go into this fresh, juicy, fruit-laden wine.
