Leyda Valley is a small sub-region of the San Antonio Valley wine region in Chile, located just 55 miles of Santiago. This cool-climate region enjoys the effects of the cold Humboldt Current of the Pacific Ocean, and consequently produces bright, vibrant wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is also responsible for excellent examples of Syrah.
Leyda Valley's soils are largely clay and loam over a granite base with moderate drainage. These low-fertility soils are good for the production of premium grapes because they make the vines struggle for survival. This results in vines that put all their energy into producing small, concentrated grapes rather than leafy foliage. Red wines produced from these grapes tend to be structured and complex.
