✨ Technical Specifications
Cinco Manos, translating to 'Five Hands,' is a tribute to the collaborative spirit, craftsmanship, and human touch required to bring this elegant wine from the vineyard to the glass. Produced by the historic Casa Silva, a family-owned estate with winemaking roots stretching back to the late 19th century, this Pinot Noir highlights Chile's incredible potential for cool-climate viticulture. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards within the Central Valley, where the vines benefit from the cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean breeze and the majestic Andes Mountains, this wine is crafted to preserve the delicate, bright characteristics of the grape. The winemaking process focuses on gentle extraction and careful temperature control, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances fresh red berry fruit with subtle earthy undertones and a soft, velvety texture.
🍾 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.
