Casa Silva ‘Lago Ranco’ Riesling is a unique and delicious expression of the classic Riesling grape. The wine has amazing aromatics, juicy lime and yellow fruit along with mineral notes and an elegant finish. The wine is from Casa Silva’s Futrono Estate, which is in the southern region of Austral Región, Chilean Patagonia. The vineyards are planted on slopes located between two mountains that falls in front of Ranco Lake. The soil is volcanic, classified as Trumao, 100% volcanic ash.
In 1997, Mario Pablo Silva made a proposal to his father: he wanted to transform his bulk wine business which had been owned by the Silva family since 1892 into a prestige bottling company for export, bearing the family's own name. Mario Silva accepted his son's challenge and Casa Silva was created. In a short space of time, Casa Silva has become one of the most prestigious and awarded producers of premium Chilean wine. They have a pioneering spirit and own enviable vineyard sites throughout the Colchagua region which they match up to individual grape varieties.
