To try, buy and put by
A dazzling Champagne from one of the last family-run houses is one to put by
Just five years ago, Leyda Valley was being touted as the next cool climate superstar region, a place that could challenge Burgundy or New Zealand’s Central Otago pinot noir. After initial success, the wineries were distracted into syrah, then all the usual varietal suspects. Perhaps it was a sign of insecurity. Ultimately the better wineries like Viña Leyda still make fine examples and this Reserva pinot noir is one. It is no Burgundy, but as a well-priced ripe, spicy and mellow Pinot, it is a pleasure.
