BODEGA NEYEN
Located in Apalta Valley: a small valley protected by the nearby Coastal Range from the winds that blow through the Tinguiririca River Canyon from the west in Chile.
The Neyen de Apalta winery is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. It was founded by the Rojas family in 2002 on the site of one of the area’s pioneering wineries that dates back to the late 19th century. The high density (1.5 x 1.0 mts) vineyards planted nearly 120 years ago now have deep root systems that do not require irrigation. The conditions of the terroir include a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, granitic soils, and an ample daily temperature differential—aptitudes that result in grapes that ripen later and with better balance and elegance.
