✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva was a true pioneer in exploring the coastal frontier of Paredones, situated a mere seven kilometers from the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. This 'Cool Coast' terroir is heavily influenced by the Humboldt Current, which brings morning fogs and cooling breezes that slow the ripening process. While Sauvignon Blanc is the region's standard-bearer, Casa Silva took a bold step by planting Sauvignon Gris, a rare, pink-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc originally from Bordeaux. Thriving in the decomposed granite and clay soils of Paredones, this grape produces a wine of remarkable texture and complexity. Hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, it showcases a beautiful balance of fresh acidity, mineral tension, and a signature saline finish that pays homage to its maritime 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.
