✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva's Cuvée Colchagua Viognier Reserva highlights the family's pioneering spirit in Chile's Colchagua Valley. While Colchagua is historically famous for its bold red wines, Casa Silva recognized the potential of its cooler microclimates, influenced by both the Andes Mountains and Pacific breezes, to cultivate aromatic white varieties. Sourced from estate vineyards, this Viognier is crafted to capture the grape's signature exotic profile. The grapes are carefully harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate floral aromas, vibrant acidity, and lush stone fruit characteristics without the heavy influence of oak, showcasing a pure expression of Colchagua's diverse terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Viña Casa Silva was founded in 1997 by Mario Pablo Silva and his father, Mario Silva Cifuentes, formalizing a viticultural legacy in the Colchagua Valley initiated in 1892 by French ancestor Emilio Bouchon. Headquartered around historic 19th-century cellars in Angostura, the family oversees estate vineyards spanning diverse terroirs across Chile's Central Valley and coastal cordilleras, notably Angostura, Lolol, and the cool, maritime-influenced Paredones just kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. Soils range from decomposed granite and alluvial gravels to fine sandy loam, providing exceptional drainage. Casa Silva operates under 100% certification by the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code, coupling precise parcel selection with temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and measured French oak aging. Renowned for championing heritage grape varieties alongside classic styles, the estate produces benchmarks including its expressive Sauvignon Gris, crisp coastal Sauvignon Blancs, and vibrant Viognier bottlings, seamlessly translating Colchagua's varied meso-climates into balanced, aromatically complex whites.
