Why this wine
Leyda sits a few kilometres from the Pacific, cold enough that ripening takes months longer than inland. Saline and grapefruit-driven. Chile's answer to Marlborough, with more restraint.

Description
How it tastes
A vibrant, flinty and herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of passionfruit, lime, and mandarin, underpinned by blackcurrant leaf spice and mineral elegance. Enticing aromas of lime, mandarin, and passionfruit meld with notes of gooseberry leaf, fennel, and flint, revealing the coastal influence of Leyda's terroir. Zesty and expressive, showing vibrant citrus and tropical fruit alongside herbal undertones and a distinct mineral edge. The palate is layered, textural, and persistently fresh, leading to a clean, saline finish. Contains sulphites.
