Garuma is close to 20 acres of vines on Chile's far coast; it's planted mostly to clone 1 sauvignon, which provides the structure and acidity to tame the warmth of the 2012 harvest. This sauvignon is unctuous and sweet, balanced by the tension of its acidity, holding the white pepper and ripe white fruit flavors in check.

Viña Leyda was founded in 1998, in Leyda Valley, place today recognized as the last great innovation of Chilean viticulture. Traditionally, Leyda Valley has been an area of natural pasture lands and basic crops such as wheat and barley.
After evaluating the potential conditions of the area, a crucial investment was made which enabled water to be brought from the Maipo River through an eight kilometer pipeline. Actually, Leyda has planted vineyards for a total of 230 hectares.
As the pioneer vineyard in Leyda Valley, Viña Leyda is committed is to be the protagonist of a unique place, working with specific micro-terroirs, limited wine production and selection of each parcel, which gives different expressions, purity, identity and character to ultra-premium wine.
