- Vineyard:
The Gran Reserva range come from the first and the second terrace in Los Lingues Estate. The soil presents a matrix of rocks in different states of decomposition, mainly as fragmented alterites, which give the balance sought between vigour, productivity and quality. Mineral notes are expressed because of the balanced extraction through the deep roots.
- Vinification:
The grapes come from carefully pruned vines, with stringent canopy management. At optimum ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked in selected lots, carefully sorted and sent to stainless steel tanks where they go to cold maceration over five days (50ºF), for extraction of aromas, flavor and color. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures (75-79°C). Finally, warm maceration takes place to extract the most rounded and silky tannins. One soft cartridge filtration takes place before bottling.
- Terroir:
Clay texture with volcanic rocks and colluvial stones.

AUMA is Koyle's top wine. It has been produced since the 2009 harvest and is a summary of Koyle's 80 Hectares of vineyards in Los Lingues, near the foot of the Andes in Alto Colchagua. The 2018 vintage is 33% Carmenere, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 12% Malbec, 8% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. In an exceptional vintage, this is a wine with deep flavors, herbal tones, ripe red fruit and firm tannins of good caliber - good enough to wait a long time for them to soften up. A young wine that needs three or four years in the bottle.
