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.
