Viña Casa Silva began in 1997 en pursuit of a long-held dream of sharing the family’s love and affection for its land in the Colchagua Valley in a bottle of wine. Emilio Bouchon was the first to arrive in Chile from St. Emilion, Bordeaux, France, in 1892, and his family has been making wine there ever since. They were pioneers in the Colchagua Valley, although it was not until 1997 that Mario Pablo Silva, the oldest son of the fifth generation, and his father, Mario Silva, shared the dream of making wines under their own label. The latter had dedicated much of his life to recovering the old vineyards and wine cellar and had acquired a unique understanding of the terroir in the Colchagua Valley. His other sons Francisco, Gonzalo, and Raimundo joined soon thereafter and contributed to the development of Viña Casa Silva. And so began the new family winery and the process of modernizing all of the activities that took place within it. Pre-selected block from Los Lingues vineyard, located at the foot of the Andes Mountains in the Colchagua Valley. Mediterranean climate. Strong influence of the Andes, high temperature during days and fresh nights, the temperature difference between both can reach up to 20°C.The wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months. The best barrels of this block are selected by tasting and blended afterward. Bottling time has to be at least one year before release it to the market. An intense and deep ruby colour, very attractive nose with notes of red fruits and spices. The wine has a powerful entry, silky tannins, balanced acidity, pleasant mouthfeel background and an elegant and persistent finish. A topnotch wine to treat yourself with.
