✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva's Cool Coast Pinot Noir is a definitive expression of Chile's coastal viticulture. Sourced from the pioneering Paredones vineyard in the cool-climate coastal hills of the Colchagua Valley, this wine is shaped by its close proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean. The vines grow in soils rich in decomposed granite and quartz, benefiting from morning fogs and cooling ocean breezes that slow ripening and preserve natural acidity. Casa Silva was among the first to recognize the potential of this challenging, wind-swept terroir for delicate varieties. The resulting Pinot Noir is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing cold maceration and gentle fermentation, followed by partial aging in French oak to complement its bright red-fruit core with subtle, elegant complexity.
🍾 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.
