Leyda Valley is a relatively new Chilean growing region (2002) that is characterized by rolling loamy hills, scattered with quartz and granite gravel, starting about 2.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Only the most adventurous and pioneering winemakers are willing to challenge this extreme, new appellation. The Three Thieves were excited about this region as it reminded them of their very own Sonoma Coast, known for producing amazingly complex wines.
