✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the coastal hills of the Colchagua Valley, the Lolol estate benefits from a unique microclimate where warm Chilean sun meets cooling breezes sweeping in from the Pacific Ocean. The name 'Lolol' derives from the indigenous Mapudungun language, translating to 'land of caves' or 'valley of ditches,' a region steeped in local Chilean folklore of shamans and ancient spirits. Here, Casa Silva coaxes exceptional complexity from Syrah planted on decomposed granitic soils mixed with clay. The grapes undergo careful selection and are typically aged in French oak barrels to round out the tannins. The resulting wine is a brilliant expression of cool-climate Syrah, showcasing a signature profile of dark berries, cracked black pepper, fresh violet aromas, and a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that reflects this mystical coastal terroir.
🍾 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.
