✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
