Description
The Leyda Valley is one of four recognized areas within the San Antonio sub-region of the Aconcagua Valley. The region is heavily influenced by the cooling effect of the Humboldt Current which promotes great vibrancy in the wines. Vi�a Leyda was founded in 1997 and was a pioneer in San Antonio. Leyda's single-vineyard 2014 Sauvignon Blanc will be crisp and juicy with tropical fruit and herbal flavours and will be a fine reflection of cool-climate viticulture.

Tasting Notes
Garuma is a selection of blocks from the El Mait�n Vineyard, located about 12 kilometers from the sea in the Leyda Valley. The vines were planted on granitic-clay soils with a cool, south-facing orientation around 2008. 10% of the wine was aged in barrels to 'support the texture and aromatic complexity' says winemaker Viviana Navarrete, and 85% is clone 1, which is known for the sharp acidity felt here in the form of firm, citrusy acidity surrounded by mineral and fruity flavors in a powerful body that covers the entire palate in this classic sauvignon from the Chilean coast. Score - 94. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2021)
