Wine description:
With a bright ruby-red color, this unique blend reveals notes of ripe fruit and medium aromatic intensity. Expect flavors of dark cherries, complemented by a pleasant character of sweet spices such as cinnamon and clove. In the background, subtle hints of cedar, silky fruit, and a touch of balsamic emerge. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a firm mid-palate structure. It finishes with balanced acidity and a very long aftertaste. Garden blend means that all grape varieties were harvested together and co-fermented in the same tank.

Winery:
The Garcés Silva family are pioneers in producing Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with a "view" of the Pacific Ocean. Their vineyards were planted as early as 1999 in the Leyda Valley. The family went on to spark a wine revolution in Chile, blending passion, talent, business philosophy, and the individual visions of each family member. In 2002, they released their first wines under the acclaimed Amayna label. Since 2015, they’ve also launched a lighter wine line under the name Boya.

The distance between the Pacific Ocean and the Garcés Silva Vineyards is about 10 kilometers. This proximity has a big impact on the grapes. Each afternoon, ocean breezes naturally cool the vineyards, allowing the grapes to ripen in a more balanced way.
