The grapes are from a small, 3.58-hectare, low-yielding vineyard in the Leyda Valley, a well-known sub-region of San Antonio. 95% of the vines are Davis 1 clones and 5% are the French 107 clone. The plots are located on west-facing slopes and exposed to the wind. The vines have been carefully managed to protect the clusters from direct sunlight in order to enhance their freshness and retain their terroir expression and character.
This Sauvignon Blanc has very clear fruit expression on the nose, with citrusy notes of grapefruit, lime and orange peel. Leyda’s classic herbal notes such as tomato leaf and green chilli take a more secondary role but are still present, accompanied by a touch of minerality. The palate is broad, with a very creamy yet fresh texture and a refreshingly mineral and saline finish characteristic of its origin.
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
