Antiyal In 1996, winemaker Alvaro Espinoza and his family started Antiyal, trying to fulfill a family dream that existed for decades. The Biodynamic approach was chosen to provide a more authentic expression of the individuality of each terroir. External agricultural input is minimized to create a clean and healthy environment for the plants, to bring the soil back to its natural state, and to express its unique conditions in the wines.
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 the great concentration of black plum and red berries with notes of graphites.
50% Syrah 30% Cabernet sauvignon 15% Carmenere 5% Petit Verdot 1%
