The Dona Dominga range by Casa Silva is a heartfelt tribute to the family's heritage and the vibrant spirit of Chile's Central Valley. Crafted with fruit selected from prime vineyard sites, this Gran Reserva Viognier showcases the grape's signature exotic character under the Chilean sun. The winemaking team focuses on preserving the delicate, highly aromatic profile of Viognier, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to retain notes of white peach, apricot, and orange blossom, while light lees contact imparts a round, textured mouthfeel. This wine beautifully marries the rich history of the Silva family with a modern expression of a classic Rhône variety thriving in South American soils.

Under the leadership of Mario Pablo Silva, the winery has earned international acclaim for its rigorous terroir research, particularly its groundbreaking micro-terroir studies of Carmenere in the Los Lingues region. Casa Silva is also celebrated for pushing viticultural boundaries into extreme cool-climate territories, producing exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah from Paredones on the 'Cool Coast,' as well as pioneering Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc from the remote Lago Ranco in Chile's southern Austral region.
