Casa Silva are one of Chile’s best Carmenere producers and this is one of the finest Carmenere's to come out of Chile. This wine really shows the potential of both the grape and the region. Intense ruby with violet hues. On the nose, delicate aromas of red and black fruits with hints of coffee are appreciated. In the mouth it is harmonious, with a very good structure, soft tannins and notes of ripe red fruit, spices and a soft touch of black pepper. Long and elegant finish.
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.
