Kuyen is the Mapuche word for moon. The moon, just like the sun, has a deep relation with organic and biological energies. Ancient farmers knew this and they used to follow the moon cycles to farm the soil for thousands of years.

This Syrah-based blend is a tribute to those wise people and their farming methods. The wine shows great concentration of black plum, red berries with notes of graphites.

It is deeply layered and shows some toast and spice flavors along with dark chocolate.

The 2018 Kuyen is a blend of 47% Syrah, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère and 6% Petit Verdot from Huelquen, Maipo, from Alvaro Espinoza and family’s biodynamic vineyard. Aged in one-third new barrels, it a bright violet-red in the glass, presenting fine aromas of plum, blackberry and red currant along with hints of herbs over a gentle bed of wood. Juicy on the palate with medium body and good freshness, this is a dry wine with a jovial, classical expression. Precisely made and enticing.

The certified organic and biodynamic red blend 2018 Kuyen is a multi-grape blend of Syrah (47%), Cabernet sauvignon (32%), Carmenere (15%) and Petit Verdot (6%) from vines planted on stony soils in 2003 and was produced in a very traditional way (think Bordeaux). It has a classical profile, mixing berries, herbs and spices and a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and pungent flavors. 14,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2019.
