Vallée de Leyda
Visit Leyda Valley is a wine-growing sub-region of the San Antonio Valley. Located between the city of San Antonio and Santiago, Chile's capital, this protected designation of origin is one of the country's youngest wine-growing regions.
Previously specializing in wheat and barley production, it wasn't until the 90s that the (very) high potential of the region was recognized. Leyda Valley is discovered. It developed very quickly, and still has great potential.
The climate is cool and oceanic. The region is crossed by a breeze from the Pacific Ocean and regularly experiences morning fog. Dotted with hills, the landscape provides plenty of sunshine, and the wide temperature range between warm days and cool nights is ideal for vine development. The soils are clay and silt on a granite base. The Leyda Valley has fairly dry soils, so a pipeline from the Maipo River supplies water to irrigate the vines.
Wines from the Leyda Valley are generally single varietal and are often described as structured and complex. The region's emblematic grape variety is Sauvignon Blanc (45% of the vineyard area), complemented mainly by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
