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.

From the Los Lingues vineyard, higher up in the Andes, the long Indian Summer helps the slow-ripening Carmenere, and turn it into a wine sporting a ruby red colour. Gorgeous aroma with hints of tobacco, black and red fruits. Round on the palate, soft tannins and balanced acidity with sweet fruit, cherries and blackberry notes. Long finish.
