More Information
The Silva family pioneered grape growing in Chile’s Colchagua Valley way back in 1892, and is still going strong today: it’s the most awarded Chilean winery in the 21st century, and was named “Best Winery of Chile 2020” by Catad’Or Wine Awards. All Casa Silva wines are certified sustainable through Wines of Chile Sustainability Code.
This 2020 S38 showcases the peak of Chile’s cabernet sauvignon potential. The Silvas use micro-vinification, which keeps yields low and quality uniform by taking all the grapes from one small plot (over which they have obsessed for 25 years). Dark ruby color with a pungent nose of red fruit and spice. That pungency carries over to the palate, but with silky tannins and nice balanced acidity. The blast then recedes for a pleasant, lingering finish.
