Tasting note
Elegant Pinot Noir, fragrant with strawberry, cherry, orange peel and herbs, with more red berries on the tongue.
Viticulture
Chile's most awarded cool climate winery, led by top winemaker Viviana Navarette. Leyda's coastal microclimate, cooled by the Humboldt current, brings unique freshness and acidity. Established as D.O. Leyda Valley in 2001, wines from El Granito and El Maiten sites feature ancient granitic soils, imparting a distinctive minerality.
Vinification
Chilled to 10°C, grapes sat in open stainless steel tanks for 6 days under anaerobic conditions before selected yeast inoculation. Fermentation at 27-28°C for 6 days with "punching down" 3 times daily. After 2 days on lees and skins, 100% was transferred to new and one-year-used French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, aging for 10 months.
Food Match
Serve slightly chilled with pork dishes
