Chile
Old or New World wine-producing country? Its first grapevines were planted as early as the 1500s. European immigrants brought more varieties, particularly from Bordeaux, to Chile in the 1800s. Until the 1990s, most of the country’s wine was consumed locally. As Chilean winemakers started exporting more wine, the world noticed both the quality and value of Chile wines.
With 4,300 kilometers of coastline along the Pacific Ocean, Chile produces wines that are both fruit-forward factor and herbaceous.
Cabernet Sauvignon might be Chile’s most important red variety, but Carmenere is the country’s niche grape (98% of the world’s Carmenère is grown there). As for white wines, Sauvignon blanc has become increasingly popular and performs well when grown close to the cool Pacific; Chardonnay is also ubiquitous in Chile.
Casa Silva
Casa Silva traces its roots back to 1892, when Emilio Bouchon arrived in Chile from Bordeaux. His family has been making wine there ever since but it is only in 1997 that Mario Pablo Silva, the oldest son of the 5th generation, and his father, realised the dream of making wines under their own label.
They own 4 distinct vineyard areas in the Colchagua Valley that stretch from the coast to the mountains for a total of 1,000 hectares. Recently, they extended their territory to Patagonia.
Today, Casa Silva is the most award-winning Chilean winery in the 21st century. They are recognized to have a unique understanding of the Colchagua Valley terroir and the expert of Carmenere varietal.
