About this wine

Casa Silva Altura is the flagship red of one of Chile’s most historic family estates, a wine crafted from the very best parcels of the Los Lingues vineyard at the foothills of the Andes. Here, old vines of Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grow on ancient alluvial soils swept down from the mountains, creating fruit of exceptional concentration, purity and natural intensity. Altura is produced only in outstanding vintages and made with meticulous attention to detail: hand‑harvested grapes, rigorous selection, gentle extraction and long ageing in French oak. The result is a wine of remarkable depth, structure and elegance with a powerful yet refined expression of the Alto Colchagua terroir. Why You’ll Love It Altura is one of Chile’s great icon wines, combining richness and precision in a way that few can match. It captures the full character of Carmenère giving dark fruit, spice and velvety texture, elevated by the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the aromatic lift of Petit Verdot. This is a wine built for collectors, for special occasions and for anyone who appreciates the very best of South American winemaking. Meet the Producer Casa Silva is Chile’s oldest family‑run winery, with five generations dedicated to exploring and expressing the unique terroirs of Colchagua. Their Los Lingues estate, nestled against the Andes, is renowned for producing some of the country’s most distinctive Carmenère. Casa Silva’s philosophy blends tradition with innovation, resulting in wines of purity, elegance and a deep sense of place. Production Grapes are hand‑picked from low‑yielding old vines and sorted berry by berry to ensure only the finest fruit is used. Fermentation takes place in small tanks with gentle extraction to preserve finesse and aromatic complexity. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for extended periods, allowing its layers of fruit, spice and mineral character to integrate seamlessly into a polished, harmonious whole.
