Tasting Notes

Crystal-clear wine with a pale golden colour and green reflections. On the nose, it presents a fresh and austere profile, with citrus notes of lemon zest and
a subtle hint reminiscent of gunpowder or stone, followed by delicate herbal notes and green apple.

On the palate, it stands out for its oily texture and structure, which contrasts with sharp acidity, leaving a saline and vertical sensation on the back of the mouth—very characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc from the Leyda Valley. As it evolves in the glass, it reveals different layers of flavour, culminating in a long and expressive finish. This vintage, marked by an exceptionally cold climate for the Leyda Valley, promises great aging potential in the bottle.

Producer Profile

The Garcés Silva family have long had a deep connection to nature. With a long tradition of cultivating the land, passed down through generations.

In 1999, the Garcés Silva family planted the first vines at their property becoming pioneers in the Leyda Valley. Since that date they have become experts in cool-climate wines, distinguished by their passion for creating renowned coastal wines that capture the essence of the terroir.

They built a state-of-the-art winery in 2002, which was the first of its kind in the Leyda Valley and then launched the Amayna range in 2003 and the Boya range later, which are considered driving forces behind the rise to fame of wines from the Leyda Valley.

Viticulture

Located at 180 m.a.s.l and nestled between the coastal mountain range and the third marine terrace, Cordón Huinca rises above a dominant granodiorite rock formation, rich in quartz and feldspar. This low-fertility soil, composed of ferruginous clays with medium plasticity in conjunction with granodiorite, creates a structure that allows roots to delve deep in search of nutrients. A mere 12 km away, with views of the Pacific Ocean, our vineyards receive the influence of the sea through thermal regulation, relative humidity, and a constant breeze, which allows for the slow development of polyphenols in the
grapes without losing the acids within the berries.

Original rootstocks, clones  242 and 317.
