✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to honor the fifth generation of the Silva family, whose winemaking roots in Chile date back to the late 19th century, the Quinta Generacion Blanco is a sophisticated blend that showcases the diverse micro-terroirs of the Colchagua Valley. This cuvée typically marries the crisp, vibrant acidity of Sauvignon Blanc with the rich, textured palate of barrel-fermented Chardonnay and the aromatic, floral lift of Viognier. The grapes are sourced from selected estate vineyards, where cool morning breezes from the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains preserve natural freshness. By partially aging the blend in French oak barrels, Casa Silva achieves a harmonious balance of bright citrus, stone fruit, and subtle toasted brioche notes, representing a modern pinnacle of Chilean white winemaking.
🍾 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.
