Casa Silva 'Los Lingues' Carmenere 2021

Casa Silva Los Lingues Carmenere is made from grapes grown in their premium ‘Los Lingues’ vineyard, which is now an official Denominaciones de Origen (DO). Intense and ripe black fruits with hints of wild forest fruits are perfectly balanced with oak notes of tobacco and chocolate. Sweet fruit on the palate, cherry and more blackberry. Powerful, structured and balanced, this is excellent.

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 allows them to produce some of Chile’s best terroir driven wines at all price points.

The winery has become one of Chile’s finest producers of Carmenere over recent years. The Microterroir and Los Lingues have won numerous awards and are widely regarded as two of the finest examples of Carmenere from Chile. Never one to stand still, they now produce sparkling wine, Riesling, Sauvignon Gris, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cesar Noir. We are going to need a bigger warehouse if they carry on like this!
