Matias Garcés Silva launched Amayna with his family's support in 2002. The word "amayna" in Chile loosely translates to "the calm before the storm" - it is that ominous yet peaceful feeling that you only experience around the ocean. Their gravity fed winery and vineyards sit just 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

The Family: The Garcés Silva family has long been involved in agriculture, livestock and grape growing, as well as the beverage, financial, and real estate industries. The winery that bears the family name was founded by José Antonio Garcés Silva, a business man who acquired the property in the Leyda Valley - San Antonio area, thus becoming one of the pioneers in the area’s viticultural development.

Terroir: Leyda Valley is located in a valley that lies between the Coastal Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean and runs parallel to Chile's Central Valley. Its gentle coastal hills are characterized by poor soils and very dry climate.

Vineyard Information: Amayna stems from grounds that are quite heterogeneous due to a dry coastal climate. The estate has two soil types: granitic soil and alluvial soil. They have 37 acres which were planted in 1999 and onwards. The family practices sustainable vineyard management and intervene as little as possible.
