Brand
Leyda
Leyda valley is nestled in the rolling hills of Chile's coastal mountain range. Located just eight miles from the Pacific Ocean it has a distinctly cool maritime climate. The Leyda winery created a new D.O. in Chile by being the first to plant grapes there in 1998. Before then the valley was best known for the iconic blue train station that connected the capital city of Santiago with the Pacific coast and the port of San Antonio. Today Leyda is home to some of the most elegant, expressive cool climate wines from Chile.

Vinification Details
The harvest for this variety got underway in the third week of February. Each plot and clone was separately harvested by hand.
Once the grapes had arrived at the winery, they were destemmed and gently crushed, then put into stainless steel tanks. The grapes were cold-macerated at 10C for 2-3 days in order to enhance the fruit intensity. Then the must was fermented with selected yeasts at a temperature of 24C-26C for 10 to 12 days. During the fermentation, 1-2 gentle pump-overs took place each day to retain the fruity flavour, juiciness and smooth texture in the final wine. The wine was racked off and 20% of it was aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, while the remaining 80% was kept in stainless steel tanks, where the malolactic fermentation took place.
