The Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva is an ode to the Carmenere grape, the pride of Chile. This wine, from Casa Silva's renowned Reserva series, is the result of the perfect combination of the Colchagua Valley's ideal climate, the chalky soil, and the dedication of Casa Silva's winemakers. With abundant sunshine and the refreshing sea breeze blowing across the vineyards, the deep-rooted, ancient vines take full advantage of the nutrient-rich soil.
The rich legacy of Casa Silva
Casa Silva is not only one of the largest wineries in Chile but also a proud guardian of family traditions. Its history dates back to 1892, when Frenchman Emilio Bouchon first ventured into Chilean viticulture. Since 1997, Casa Silva has pursued its dream of commercially selling world-class wines. This dream has been realized with overwhelming success, making Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva a household name in the wine world.
The careful creation of Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva
The Carmenere grapes for this Reserva are carefully selected from the finest parts of Casa Silva's vineyard in the Colchagua Valley. Each grape is hand-picked and sorted, ensuring only the very best juice is used. After harvest, the grapes are cooled and undergo a cold maceration. This process, followed by careful fermentation and aging—60% in French oak barrels and 40% in stainless steel—ensures that Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva retains its signature fruity character.
The aroma of the Casa Silva Carmenere Reserva is enticing, with aromas of black cherries and plums, enriched with spicy notes. The taste is a harmonious blend of ripe black fruit, caramel, vanilla, and cedar. The finish is exactly what you would expect from a Casa Silva wine: rich, smooth, and with a refined complexity. A true treat for any wine lover.
