2017 FAMILIA GARCES SILVA "BOYA" LEYDA VALLEY ROSE

2017 FAMILIA GARCES SILVA "BOYA" LEYDA VALLEY ROSE, CHILE. 93% Pinot Noir, 7% Grenache. (Certified Sustainable)

Boya was created by the Garcés Silva family, pioneers of the coastal Leyda Valley in Chile. Boya in Spanish means “buoy” – referencing the vineyards’ proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The sea breeze sweeps away excess humidity and regulates temperatures, resulting in harvests two weeks later than in the other maritime-influenced valleys in the area. The harvest is completely by hand, as is the selection of bunches and grapes. A direct pressing is performed with whole cluster at low temperatures, then fermented in steel tanks. Refreshing coastal Rosé with flavors of bright raspberry, tangerine, and a mineral finish. Aromas of raspberry and tangerine with a mineral finish. Well-balanced with fresh acidity and great texture. Try with oysters, fresh goat cheese, roasted peppers, and grilled chicken. (Importer)
