In the heart of Chile’s Colchagua Valley, where the Andes and the Coastal Range meet to form a dramatic half-moon, lies Neyen — “the spirit of Apalta.” This natural amphitheater, bathed in sunlight and cooled by breezes from the Tinguiririca River, creates a microclimate ideal for slow, balanced ripening. The ancient soils, rich in granite and volcanic sediments, nurture pre-phylloxera Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère vines planted in 1890 and 1936 — among the oldest in Chile.
Entirely organic and hand-harvested, these vines are cultivated with deep respect for nature’s rhythm. Their ungrafted roots reach profound depths, capturing the mineral essence of the land and translating it into wines of exceptional purity, structure and soul.
Neyen’s philosophy honors time, balance and place. In the cellar, minimal intervention allows the terroir to speak — native yeast fermentations, gentle extraction and aging in large French oak barrels and concrete eggs preserve the natural harmony of fruit and earth. The result is a wine that bridges two worlds: the concentration and depth of the New World with the elegance and finesse of the Old.
Each vintage of Neyen de Apalta tells the story of this sacred valley — its light, its silence, its energy. It is a wine born from living history, where a century of roots still pulse beneath the surface. Profound yet graceful, powerful yet serene — Neyen embodies the timeless spirit of Apalta.
