✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva's Late Harvest Semillon Gewurztraminer represents a harmonious marriage of two distinct white grape varieties grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of Chile's Central Valley. Semillon, a historic variety in Chile, provides a luscious texture, honeyed depth, and vital acidity, while Gewurztraminer contributes exotic notes of lychee, rose petals, and sweet spices. The grapes are left on the vine past normal maturity to concentrate their sugars, resulting in a sweet nectar that reflects the pioneering spirit of the Silva family, who have spent generations unlocking the diverse micro-climates of the region to create wines of exceptional balance and elegance.
🍾 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.
