Neyen
Spirit of Apalta
A WINE THAT TELLS THE STORY OF ITS LAND, ITS HISTORY AND THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
The spirit of Neyen was born in 1889, when Cabernet Sauvignon vines brought directly from France compenetrated the soils of Apalta. Soon afterwards, when the Carménère vineyards had been planted and as the roots connected with the property, the spirit grew, filling the air with an inexplicable energy.
Over time, the vineyards established direct communication with the land; the grapes harvested became ever more representative of the terroir of Apalta and the energy of the soil grew more and more intense.
The local people could feel this special force but did not know how to explain it and so they called it Neyen, the Spirit of Apalta.
Neyen speaks of the place and the people. It knows the character of the land, allowing the origin to come through. Over a hundred years of experience have been passed from one generation to another, converting our wines into a faithful reflection of the spirit of Apalta.
Neyen is more than just a blend; it’s a powerful and vibrant interpretation of the place, the oldest in the D.O. Apalta.
Each year, the composition of the wine varies; Neyen seeks balance, an elegant synergy between the characteristics of each variety. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone to the wine, giving it structure, while the Carménère -the lost variety of Bordeaux- delivers its smooth mouthfeel and silky finish.
Neyen, ancestral spirit of the Apalta Valley, born in the Andes Mountain Range, fruit of the sun and centennial vines. Prodigious blend of Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon.
