Classic

2011 Leyda Valley Chardonnay

The Leyda Classic Chardonnay from the 2011 vintage is a beautifully crafted white wine that showcases the vibrant character of the Leyda Valley. With its enticing pale golden hue, this wine presents an aromatic bouquet of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and subtle hints of minerality. On the palate, it displays a medium body that is balanced by refreshing acidity, resulting in a crisp and lively mouthfeel that makes it exceptionally food-friendly. The wine boasts a fruit-forward intensity, enhanced by a delicate touch of oak that adds complexity without overpowering the pleasing, juicy fruit flavors. Leyda Classic is exquisitely dry, making it a delightful choice for enjoying with seafood, poultry, or simply sipping on its own.

Chile

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
