✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the breathtaking, wild frontier of Chile's southern Austral region near Lago Ranco, Casa Silva's Fervor Extra Brut represents a daring viticultural triumph. In this extreme cool-climate zone, where active volcanoes shadow pristine glacial lakes, the Silva family pioneered some of the southernmost vineyards in the world. Crafted using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes extended lees aging to develop its signature complexity. The unique volcanic soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of Patagonia impart a vibrant, piercing acidity and a distinct mineral backbone to the wine, capturing the untamed energy and 'fervor' of this remote 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.
