✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva's Edición Limitada Petit Verdot showcases the incredible potential of this late-ripening Bordeaux variety in Chilean soils. Grown primarily in the warm, sun-drenched micro-terroir of Los Lingues at the foot of the Andes Mountains, the grapes benefit from intense daytime heat balanced by cooling mountain breezes at night. This dramatic diurnal temperature variation allows the notoriously stubborn Petit Verdot to achieve phenolic ripeness while retaining its vibrant natural acidity. Traditionally used as a minor blending grape to add color and structure, Casa Silva elevates it to a standalone star. The wine undergoes meticulous hand-sorting and is aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a deeply colored, full-bodied red with complex aromas of dark blue fruits, violet, black pepper, and graphite, backed by muscular yet finely integrated tannins.
🍾 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.
