✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to honor the fifth generation of the Silva family's winemaking legacy in Chile, Quinta Generacion Tinto is a prestigious estate blend that showcases the depth and complexity of the Colchagua Valley. Sourced from sustainably managed family vineyards, including the historic Angostura estate with its deep clay-loam soils and the foothill terroir of Los Lingues, this wine represents a meticulous selection of the finest blocks. The blend typically marries the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, the plush texture and spicy character of Carmenere, the rich dark fruit of Syrah, and the vibrant acidity of Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels, it yields a sophisticated profile of ripe blackberries, cassis, tobacco, and subtle cocoa, supported by refined tannins and a long, elegant finish that speaks to Chile's modern winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
