Aroma
Lifted aromas of spice, ripe peach and floral notes
This white uses the prized white grape of the northern Rhône. It’s wonderfully lush and ripe, as you’d expect from the New World, but also with a crisp bite of minerality. Viña Casa Silva was established in the Colchagua Valley in 1892, when Emilio Bouchon arrived in Chile from Bordeaux. A true pioneer, Emilio was the first person to plant vineyards in Colchagua, and today, 125 years later, the fifth generation of his family are in charge. The elegance of this white is due to the proximity of the vineyards to the ocean – just 8 kilometres inland – so vines are cooled by coastal fogs and sea breezes. This lends a stony freshness to Viognier’s inherent exotic peach fruit and spicy richness. Ideal with cream sauced white meats or spicy Thai.
