✨ Technical Specifications
Casa Silva's Selección Especial Sauvignon Blanc showcases the vibrant, sun-drenched terroir of Chile's Central Valley, where the family's winemaking legacy dates back to the late 19th century. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard parcels, this wine benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts created by the proximity of the Andes Mountains and the cooling Pacific breezes. Crafted entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, it captures the classic Chilean expression of the grape—bursting with bright citrus, green apple, and subtle herbal undertones. The Silva family's dedication to sustainable viticulture ensures that each bottle reflects the pure, unadulterated essence of their historic valley home.
🍾 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.
