PINOT NOIR, Lot 21
Leyda Valley

Lot 21 is the concrete consequence of Viña Leyda's commitment in the development of Leyda Valley as a world class Pinot Noir producer.

Lot 21 is a parcel of 1,5 hectares, carefully selected because of its soil and microclimate conditions. The vines are managed organically with a plant per plant program in order to obtain the best quality grapes of our estate. Two or three cluster thinnings are made during the season, ending up with a reduced yield of 3.5 to 4 tons per hectare.

The grapes are hand harvested at sunrise and carefully processed at the winery.
Winemaking of Lot 21 is literally hand made, while vinification occurs in small bins and is constantly monitored and directed by either the cellar master or the winemaker himself. After a gentle and soft extractive fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels until bottling. The limited production of Lot 21 Pinot Noir is less than 300 cases per year.

Lot 21 Pinot Noir is a complex and elegant wine, with delicate aromas of strawberries, black cherries, orange peel and herbs together with a subtle oak complexity. The first impression on the taste reminds of fresh and sweet red berries. In the middle it has great volume with concentrated black cherry flavours and soft ripe tannins that widely cover the palate and cross all the way through, leaving a bright and lingering finish.
