VINIFICATION
Handpicked selection in the vineyard, after the grapes are cooled down in a cool room to 6°C. The next day begins the process of selection and crushing of the grapes, by gravity flow on top of the press or tanks, where the grapes do a cool maceration, before pressing. The juice is then ready to ferment in stainless steel tanks. All Amayna wines are certified sustainable through Vinos de Chile

Reviews
"Sea brine and fresh herbs"
Wine Enthusiast - January 1, 2022
"Strawberry and sour cherry"
Vinous - January 1, 2022 The 2018 Pinot Noir Amayna from San Juan de Leyda was 15% stem fermented before aging in French barrels and foudres. Very intense cherry red in the glass. The strawberry and sour cherry aromas combine with mushroom and earthy flavors. Pleasant on the palate, this offers surprisingly firm tannins and lingering, bold flavors lent nuance by the aging process.
