✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva's Chardonnay - Semillon is a harmonious expression of Chile's Central Valley, showcasing the synergy between two classic white grape varieties. The Silva family, with winemaking roots dating back to 1892, utilizes their deep understanding of Chilean terroir to craft this vibrant blend. Chardonnay provides a rich, round foundation of tropical fruit flavors like peach and pineapple, while Semillon contributes bright citrus notes, crisp acidity, and a subtle waxy texture that enhances the wine's complexity. Grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Central Valley, where warm days are tempered by cool evening breezes from the Andes, the grapes retain their natural acidity and aromatic intensity. This blend represents a classic, approachable style of Chilean white winemaking, balancing fruit-forward charm with refreshing elegance.
🍾 About the Producer
Viña Casa Silva was founded in 1997 by Mario Pablo Silva and his father, Mario Silva Cifuentes, formalizing a viticultural legacy in the Colchagua Valley initiated in 1892 by French ancestor Emilio Bouchon. Headquartered around historic 19th-century cellars in Angostura, the family oversees estate vineyards spanning diverse terroirs across Chile's Central Valley and coastal cordilleras, notably Angostura, Lolol, and the cool, maritime-influenced Paredones just kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. Soils range from decomposed granite and alluvial gravels to fine sandy loam, providing exceptional drainage. Casa Silva operates under 100% certification by the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code, coupling precise parcel selection with temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and measured French oak aging. Renowned for championing heritage grape varieties alongside classic styles, the estate produces benchmarks including its expressive Sauvignon Gris, crisp coastal Sauvignon Blancs, and vibrant Viognier bottlings, seamlessly translating Colchagua's varied meso-climates into balanced, aromatically complex whites.
