Amayna Sauvignon Blanc

Details

Matias Garcs Silva launched Amayna with his family’s support with their first vintage in 2003. However, the project had its origins in the late 90s when the Garcs Silva family recognized the incredible, overlooked potential of Chiles San Antonio coast for premium viticulture. After building a pipeline from the Maipo river to this region to bring water for vine irrigation, the Leyda Valley officially entered the world of fine Chilean wine. The word amayna in Chile loosely translates to the calm after the storm – that ominous yet peaceful feeling that you only experience around the ocean. Their gravity-fed winery and vineyards sit with an unobstructed view just 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

Alcohol percentage: 14.6

Tasting Notes

Bright in color with gentile notes of green and light yellow. In the nose, it shows intensity with the expression of tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple and passion fruit. It is complimented by a soft citric sensation as well as spicy and floral notes, reminiscent of ginger and jasmine. In the mouth it shows a balanced acidity, viscosity and long complex finish.
