The Colchagua valley, only a few kilometers further south, has become an exciting new wine destination. The development of world class tourist accommodations, and a wonderful collection of traditional and newer wineries makes a visit to this picturesque valley a must.
At present, Colchagua Valley includes fourteen high quality wineries: Bisquertt, Casa Lapostolle, Casa Silva, Cono Sur, Stamp, Jacques & Francois Lurton, Los Vasco, Luis Felipe Edwards, MontGras, Laura Hartwig, Siegel - El Crucero , Viñedos Orgánicos Emiliana and Viu Manent.
Emilio Bouchon arrived from Bordeaux to Chile in 1892. He was the pioneer of Colchagua Valley and responsible for the planting of high quality vineyards. Some of the vines which still remain in production date back to 1912.
Grapes of excellent quality were produced for vinification in the cellar and sold on to other exporting companies. The second and third generations of the family, headed up respectively by Abel Bouchon and Jorge Silva, also left their marks.
As the years went by, both the vineyards and the cellar were divided between different family members. In 1977, Mario Silva Cifuentes, who had married María Teresa Silva Bouchon, started working the land at Angostura and thus became the fourth generation of the family dedicated to wine making. New plantings were established and he himself produced wine for other companies to export.
In 1997, Mario Pablo Silva and his father transformed his bulk business into a prestige bottling company for export, bearing the family's own brand. Casa Silva was created for this purpose. Presently Mario Pablo's brothers, Francisco and Gonzalo, joined the project. The beginnings of a wonderful family team were forged. In a short space of time Viña Casa Silva has become widely recognised as one of the most significant producers of premium wine from Chile. It has won important national and international recognitions and over the last few years has been amongst the most highly awarded Chilean wineries.
