Leyda Reserva Pinot Noir (75cl, 13.5%)

Leyda Reserva Pinot Noir is a 100% Pinot Noir from Chile's Leyda Valley, made by Leyda, owned by Viña San Pedro Tarapacá SA. The vineyards lie 4 to 12 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, and the wine is aged for six months, 20% in used oak barrels and 80% in stainless steel. The nose shows dried cherry, cranberry, fresh strawberry, raspberry, wild herbs, light eucalyptus and tobacco-like smokiness. The palate is light-bodied, with juicy cherry and ripe berry flavours, saline minerality and soft, fine-grained tannins. The finish is moderately long, with lingering red cherry and a refreshing mineral undertone. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 14 to 16°C.
