✨ Technical Specifications
The S38 Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Casa Silva's micro-terroir research in their historic Los Lingues estate, nestled at the very foot of the Andes Mountains in the Colchagua Valley. Named after the specific Block 38, this wine is born from stony, colluvial soils that have been meticulously mapped. The proximity to the Andes creates a dramatic diurnal temperature variation, where cold mountain breezes sweep down the slopes at night, slowing grape ripening and preserving vibrant natural acidity. This unique microclimate, combined with the Silva family's multi-generational expertise dating back to 1892, yields a Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable depth, characterized by intense red fruit, elegant structure, and polished tannins that reflect the rugged beauty of its Andean home.
🍾 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.
