✨ 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
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.
