An Explosion of Personality

Looks can be deceiving when it comes to the 2023 Leyda Pinot Noir Rosé from Chile. The pretty, pale pink colour does not quite prepare you for the explosion of personality on the nose.
Leyda Rosé is made from Pinot Noir, one of the cool, coastal Leyda Valley’s most emblematic varieties. This is an expressive, fresh and juicy wine that stands out because of its expression and character, clear, cool-climate Pinot Noir typicity.

This Rosé is one of the five Pinot Noir wines made by the renowned Chilean winery, Viña Leyda. It is made from grapes from the “El Maitén” vineyard, which was planted in 2008 in the heart of the Leyda Valley, just 12km from the Pacific Ocean and from “El Granito” vineyard, which was planted in 2010 and is situated just 4 km from the sea. The strong maritime influence makes this a terroir with unique characteristics for viticulture and making fresh, aromatic wines.

Pioneers of the Valley, Viña Leyda reveals a commitment to seeking out the best expression of Pinot Noir in the unique terroir of the Leyda Valley.

The 2023 Leyda Pinot Noir Rosé is now available via Enotria & Co. and also from the Great Wine Co. priced at £15.50 per single bottle and £13.95 when you buy a case of 12.

About Leyda

Blazing a trail in the Leyda Valley, Viña Leyda is the most awarded coastal winery of Chile and is renowned for its Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc – two of their emblematic grapes.

Leyda has been a pioneer since they began to plant vineyards in the area in 1998, before the Leyda Valley was recognised as an appellation of origin (DO).

Due to the lack of natural sources of water in this area, the land is very dry. Viña Leyda had to invest in the construction of an 8-kilometre pipeline to irrigate the fields with water from the Maipo River.

Today, Viña Leyda is internationally recognised as a boutique winery, renowned for producing the finest Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc in Chile.

Viña Leyda viticulturist Tomas Rivera has been selected as best of the year in Tim Atkin’s 2022 Chile report, two years after Viviana Navarette was named as his Best Winemaker.

The first commercial delivery using Leyda’s registered trademark was made in 2001, when the associated appellation was the San Antonio Valley. However, at Viña Leyda, it was clear that the coastal influence, the climate, and the differences in soil were producing very different wines than those from the San Antonio Valley. As a result, a request was made to recognise the Leyda Valley as a DO, which was granted in May of 2002.

Only a few producers own and operate land in the Leyda Valley, making its wines even more exclusive.

At Viña Leyda, the vision is to produce exceptional wines that capture the essence and freshness of the Leyda Valley. The winery aspires to be recognised for the quality of its wines and the unforgettable experiences it creates for consumers.

Inspired by the coastal influence, Viña Leyda seeks to delight wine lovers with a premium brand that reflects a sophisticated lifestyle and serves as a symbol of shared moments and memorable connections.
