✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the prestigious Los Lingues estate nestled at the foot of the Andes Mountains in the Colchagua Valley, Casa Silva's Gran Reserva Petit Verdot is a masterful expression of a grape traditionally relegated to minor blending roles in Bordeaux. In this unique microclimate, characterized by warm days and cooling nocturnal alpine breezes, the late-ripening Petit Verdot achieves perfect phenolic maturity. The Silva family, drawing on over a century of Chilean winemaking heritage, was among the first in the region to showcase this variety as a single-varietal bottling. Aged in French oak, this wine is celebrated for its deep violet hue, robust structure, and a complex aromatic profile of dark forest fruits, graphite, and wild herbs.
🍾 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.
