✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the pioneering Paredones vineyard in the cool-climate coastal sector of the Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva's Cool Coast Chardonnay is a testament to the estate's adventurous spirit. Located just kilometers from the cold Pacific Ocean, this vineyard is constantly swept by maritime breezes and morning fogs, which slow the ripening process and preserve vibrant natural acidity. The soils here are a complex mix of decomposed granite and clay, imparting a distinct mineral edge to the wine. Fermented primarily in stainless steel to maintain its pristine fruit character, this Chardonnay beautifully captures the tension between bright citrus, stone fruit, and saline minerality that defines Chile's modern coastal winemaking revolution.
🍾 About the Producer
With winemaking roots dating back to 1892 in the Colchagua Valley, Viña Casa Silva is one of Chile's most historic and distinguished family-owned wine estates, formally bottled under the family label by Mario Silva and his sons in 1997. Based at their ancestral estate in Angostura near San Fernando, the winery has emerged as a leader in Chilean viticultural innovation, spearheading landmark terroir research and pioneering extreme vineyards ranging from the cool coastal hills of Paredones to the glacial soils of Lago Ranco in Chilean Patagonia. Committed to sustainability, precision farming, and authentic varietal character, the estate produces an exceptional spectrum of expressive red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. Casa Silva is universally acclaimed for defining modern Carmenère through benchmark bottlings like Microterroir, its flagship blend Altura, and crystalline cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
