2023 Casa Silva Cool Coast Sauvignon Gris

Casa Silva


Viticulture

Paredones property, Cool Coast, Colchagua Valley, Chile. Our vineyards are planted just 6 km from the Pacific Ocean, drawing a straight line on a map. Planted on rolling hills of granite soil with a percentage of clay, the soils are deep and exhibit good drainage. These soils evolved from granite rocks with a high percentage of quartz (in the form of gravel), which interact with clays and quartz rocks in decomposition. The average maximum temperatures for the month of January does not exceed 23 °C.


Vinification

Grapes are chilled in a cold room to 3°C, after which the grape clusters are manually selected and whole clusters are pressed. The juice is clarified and fermented under temperature control for 24 days. 100% stainless steel tanks 3 to 4 months, while working the fermentation lees in stainless steel tanks. 1 month in bottle prior to market release
