The vineyards are located in the Leyda Valley, approximately 9 miles from the Pacific coast, on moderately sloping hillsides with granite soils that contain a significant presence of clay. The vines are planted at a density of 5,555 plants per every 2.5 acres and trained to vertical shoot position. Pruning aims to achieve low yields (up to 6,245lb/ac) and slightly early ripening. Leaf canopies were kept intact until harvest to maintain good bunch coverage, which enables the fruit to reach harvest with very good levels of aromas in the skins.
The wine presents a pale yellow colour; clean and bright. The aromas are intense, with fresh white fruit predominating, including pineapple, yellow guava, and grapefruit. There is also a subtle note of fresh green chili pepper and tomato leaf, both very characteristic of the Leyda terroir. On the palate, the wine is fresh and crisp, with a natural acidity well balanced with the body and mineral favours, leaving a long finish.
