The Leyda Valley is one of Chile’s most

prestigious new wine producing regions,

garnering a wide variety of press recognition

and acclaim. As the sole D.O. located west of

the Chilean coastal mountain range, the area

is heavily influenced by the cool Humboldt

Current, experiencing one of the lowest

average maximum temperatures worldwide,

second only to Marlborough, New Zealand.

Despite the cool climate, a protective layer of

fog prevents frost; the ideal conditions for slow

maturation of grapes and stability in quality.

Exclusive access to a Maipo River pipeline

provides Viña Leyda with a rare water source,

unlocking the potential of this valley to yield

extremely high quality grapes. »

Viña Leyda is a premium winery and pioneer of the Leyda Valley, located to

the west of Chile’s cool, coastal mountain range. The name Leyda, a local

phrase meaning “the way”, derives from a historic train route to the Pacific

Ocean. The Leyda train station was once widely known throughout Chile as

the last stop before reaching the famous port of San Antonio and the

glamorous beaches of Santo Domingo. Today, it is “the way” to an incredible

wine experience!

All Leyda wines represent outstanding value

within their price segments, competing in

quality with wines at far greater prices.

Our Pinot Noir tasting profile is more French

than Californian — balanced, elegant and

harmonious — with typical varietal

characteristics in all tiers, ranging from fruity

and soft in the Leyda Line to elegant and

complex in the Single Vineyard & Lot range.

Our Sauvignon Blanc tasting profile lies

between New Zealand and France, ranging

from easy-drinking citrus fruit notes and

refreshing acidity in the Leyda Line, to

increased minerality and complexity in the

Single Vineyard & Lot range.

As founders of the Leyda Valley D.O., we are pioneers in the development of

cold climate Chilean varietals and the study of their micro-terroirs and

clonal selections. Our terroir-oriented wines are crafted in small batches to

reflect the individuality of each vineyard, garnering some of the highest

acclaim in all of Chile.

W H A T ’ S N E W A T V I Ñ A L E Y D A ?At Viña Leyda we are constantly seeking to improve the quality and value of our wines in every aspect, from the vine to the shelf.

Beginning with the 2014 vintage, our NEW 200 acre El Granito vineyard has

brought us even closer to the ocean, significantly enhancing the complexity

of our wines. Planted a mere 2.5 miles from the Pacific, this vineyard was

specifically designed for its cool proximity to the coast. A detailed soil study

was conducted to determine the ideal clonal selection for each lot, while

dense rows were planted at various angles to benefit from natural humidity

preventing wind patterns. Our new vines are yielding excellent grapes,

which have dramatically improved the style and depth of our wines for

years to come.

In addition to our latest vineyard, Viña Leyda has embarked on several

improvements in research and technology at the winery. Our bottling and

ageing now takes place at two NEWLY CONSTRUCTED facilities featuring

small volume fermentation tanks, allowing us to better monitor and achieve

greater control over the wines. Significant investments in our new

state-of-the-art filtration system, temperature controls and cooling

equipment ensure that every bottle of Leyda wine leaving the winery meets

our high standards.

Viña Leyda has also made substantial investments to our research facilities,

ensuring that we maintain superior and current knowledge of the Leyda

Appellation, including the soil varieties, clonal selections and irrigation

techniques.

Our new high quality screwcaps allow for micro-oxygenation and maintain

greater freshness of our wines. And last, but certainly not least, we’ve

invested in numerous environmental upgrades to reduce energy

consumption across all of our wine production.

Plus, we’re making a significant investment in the marketing tools for Viña

Leyda, including:

• Fresh new label designs

• Higher quality cartons

• Video series featuring winemaker Viviana Navarrete

• Updated point-of-sale support

• Dedicated regional activity

• Sales incentives

• Selling tools for all recent acclaim

Show your customers “the way” to an incredible wine experience with Viña Leyda!
