This Pinot Noir comes from grapes grown in the Leyda Valley that lies between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean and runs parallel to Chile’s Central Valley. Its gentle coastal hills are characterized by poor soils and very dry climate. The poor soils and gentle ocean breezes create tremendous aromatic potential and the great intensity reflected in the wine’s floral aromas and fresh, exotic fruit. The grapes for this Amayna Pinot Noir are picked entirely by hand and brought to the winery in 10-kg bins. The clusters and berries are also hand-selected for cleaner processing and greater quality control. Gravity-flow vinification reduces contamination and risk of oxidation as well. A full, balanced wine with personality and exquisite elegance. Aging potential: 6 years.
