Garces Silva Family Vineyards

Based in the Leyda Valley, 60 miles west of Santiago de Chile, the Garcés Silva Family winery has earned worldwide recognition over the years with its flagship wine Amayna and has demonstrated its passion for high quality and innovative wine production. The word “amayna” in Chile loosely translates to “the calm after the storm” – that ominous yet peaceful feeling that you only experience around the ocean. Their gravity-fed winery and vineyards sit with an unobstructed view just 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

They planted their first vineyards in 1999 and later built a state-of-the-art winery which was the first of its kind in the Leyda Valley. The Amayna range was launched in 2003 and is considered one of the driving forces behind the rise to fame of the wines from the Leyda Valley.

The Leyda Valley runs parallel to the Central Valley of Chile, and is sandwiched between a range of hills and the Pacific Ocean. This coastal position enables Garcés Silva to produce white wines that have intense fruitiness, rich acidity, and freshness, and red wines with bright fruit, strength and elegance.
