Vina Koyle,
Drink now,
Textured, complex, yet as refreshing as a dawn dip in the Pacific, Costa will satisfy your hedonistic side while appealing to your inner wine geek. Winemaker Cristóbal Undurraga attributes its crystalline character to the rocky (granite and quartz) soils and maritime climate of Paredones, some 120 kilometres west of Koyle’s base in Los Lingues. But terroir isn’t the only talking point: a third of the final blend is barrel fermented, a third in stainless steel and the final third in concrete eggs.
Expect aromas of nettles, hay and bay leaf. The palate combines mouth-watering acidity with a compelling mealiness.

Viña Koyle was founded in 2006 by Alfonso Undurraga Mackenna, former CEO of Viñas Undurraga, and his three sons and daughter at Los Lingues in the high Colchagua valley. This 60 hectare wine property has espoused organic and biodynamic principles from its inception.
Benefiting from five differing soils of volcanic origin, the property has taken great care to optimise the grape variety to soil type and vineyard microclimate. The wines are all fermented without excessive extraction to allow the fruit to be expressive and the oak regime is designed to complement rather than overwhelm the nose and palate.
