A savoury, ripe dark cherry and subtle oak nose with a bright, juicy, slightly herbal and acidic mid-palate lift. Long and clean with a persistent fruit finish.

Supple, ripe and rounded red from the cool (in both senses) Leyda Valley. Juicy blackcurrant and plum are the top notes; slightly spicy, hazelnutty notes lie beneath. Heaven!
Susy Atkins, The TelegraphFebruary 2010
4* A single vineyard, facing the Pacific, benefiting from cool breezes (hence Brisas): complex aromas of aniseed, leather, red fruits and vanilla. Modern, ripe, spicy Pinot, mid-weight, with a long, refreshing finish and lift of alchohol. 2010–2012.

Winemaking
Las Brisas vineyard is planted in a southwest orientated slope in Leyda Estate. Because of this exposure, sunlight is slightly less in this block and the influence of ocean breezes is higher. Then, the ripening process occurs at a slower pace contributing to the development of different and special flavours and aromas. The production in this block is 5 tons per hectare. The winemaking of this block tries to be very respectful with the freshness of flavours from the grapes. Then, the extraction and maceration of skins is gentle and soft. After fermentation the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 8 months. New oak is not used in this wine in order to keep the fruitiness and brightness of aromas and flavours.
