Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Garuma Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent representation of Leyda’s terroir -- mineral and elegant with aromas of herbs, green chili and citric notes such as lime and pink grapefruit. On the palate, again, herbal notes shine, with a creamy texture and great concentration accented by vibrant acidity and a persistent finish.

Pair with fresh seafood such as oysters, clams or sea urchins. It also works well with white fish cuts such as sashimi or carpaccio.

    The 2016 Single Vineyard Garuma Sauvignon Blanc is produced with grapes sourced from two plots of a south-facing, late-ripening vineyard on granite and limestone soils. This is always a sharp, citric, herbal and electric example of Sauvignon Blanc. It has a very mineral finish with marked acidity. The full clusters are pressed with the use of SO2 and carbonic snow and the juice put to ferment in stainless steel with selected yeasts. It's kept with the lees, which are stirred twice per week for six months. It has good structure and citric, electric acidity from a clone that has strong herbal characteristics. This is a perfect example of the typicity of the Leyda Valley through the grape. Simply delicious and very tasty with an almost salty finish. Great price, too.

    Intense, bold aromas lead onto equally bold flavours: lime curd, grapefruit sorbet, notes of passion fruit, enlivened by a refreshing acidity. A textbook Leyda Sauvignon. Drinking Window 2019 - 2019

Leyda Leyda Valley Winery Image

Viña Leyda was founded in 1998, in Leyda Valley, place today recognized as the last great innovation of Chilean viticulture. Traditionally, Leyda Valley has been an area of natural pasture lands and basic crops such as wheat and barley.

After evaluating the potential conditions of the area, a crucial investment was made which enabled water to be brought from the Maipo River through an eight kilometer pipeline. Actually, Leyda has planted vineyards for a total of 230 hectares.

As the pioneer vineyard in Leyda Valley, Viña Leyda is committed is to be the protagonist of a unique place, working with specific micro-terroirs, limited wine production and selection of each parcel, which gives different expressions, purity, identity and character to ultra-premium wine.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

An officially recognized sub-zone in the southern part of the San Antonio Valley, the Leyda Valley was the original settlement of the wine pioneers who came to the area in the 1990s. They were in search of cooler and wetter growing conditions—as compared to more eastern, drier and often warmer locations.

Planting, which began only in the late 1990s, focused on Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot noir and some limited spots for Syrah. The area continues to receive well-earned accolades for wines of these varieties.
