Casa Silva Microterroir De Los Lingues

Tasting Notes:
Deep, intense ruby in colour with vibrant purple highlights. The nose is fresh and refined, revealing layers of red and black fruit intertwined with subtle notes of coffee, black pepper and gentle spice. The palate is juicy and expressive, supported by bright acidity and generous yet silky tannins, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by elegance and depth.

Origin:
Sourced from carefully selected micro-terroir plots at the Los Lingues Estate in the Colchagua Valley. The grapes are hand-harvested into 10-kilogram trays to preserve their freshness and integrity.

Harvest & Vinification:
On arrival at the winery, the grapes are cooled to below 5°C and meticulously hand-sorted before and after destemming. A 10-day pre-fermentation cold maceration at 6°C enhances aromatic purity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500–1,000-litre rotating barrels over 16 days at 26–30°C, followed by 15 days of post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation in 500-litre French oak barrels adds texture and complexity.

Ageing:
Aged for 12 months in 100% French oak barrels, selected by the winery’s panel of oenologists to ensure balance and finesse.

Food Pairings:
A versatile partner for rosemary-roasted lamb, stuffed steak, roast or stuffed chicken, pork ribs and barbecued meats. Its richness and spice also pair beautifully with flavourful Indian cuisine and classic Spanish dishes.
