When we first starting looking for select parcels of Chilean wines to import for our private customers, we were delighted to be introduced to Vina Casa Silva. They fit the F&V mould perfectly! They are the Chilean winery with the most awards in both national and international competitions in the 21st century.
100% family owned, and based in the famous Colchagua Valley since 1892. Their vineyards are based at the winery, throughout the valley and select coastal parcels are also part of the portfolio. The range and breadth of the terroir owned by Casa Silva gives them unrivalled ability to breathe depth and complexity into all their wines. In contrast to South African wines, the coastal vineyards of Casa Silva are influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The Silva family pioneered wine production in the valley over 100 years ago, and today the 5th generation are still completely in control of the business.
Wine production arrived in Chile around 1554 with the Conquistadores. Today it is the 5th largest exporter of wine globally, and the 9th largest in terms of production. Despite being historically and politically linked to Spain, the wine production in Chile has been heavily influenced by the French (much like SA).
