✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the cool, coastal-influenced Lolol hills of the Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva's Gran Terroir Viognier showcases the winery's mastery of micro-terroirs. The Lolol region benefits from morning mists and cooling breezes blowing in from the Pacific Ocean, which slow down the ripening process. This unique microclimate allows the notoriously finicky Viognier grape to develop its signature lush, exotic aromatics of apricot and orange blossom while maintaining a vital, refreshing acidity that prevents the wine from becoming overly heavy. Fermented primarily in stainless steel with a small portion undergoing careful oak aging, this wine represents a harmonious bridge between Old World elegance and New World fruit intensity, reflecting the Silva family's century-long winemaking heritage in Chile.
🍾 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.
