✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the pioneering Paredones vineyard in the cool-climate coastal sector of the Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva's Cool Coast Sauvignon Blanc represents a daring viticultural leap toward the Pacific Ocean. Situated a mere six kilometers from the sea, the vines are constantly kissed by cold maritime breezes and morning fogs driven by the Humboldt Current. This extreme coastal terroir, characterized by decomposed granite and clay soils, forces the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their natural acidity. The resulting wine is a brilliant expression of maritime tension, weaving together intense citrus zest, white peach, and freshly cut grass with a distinct, sea-salted mineral backbone that reflects its oceanic origin.
🍾 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.
