Rótulo: Over 100 years ago, the 1st generation of the Silva family pioneered Colchagua Valley, the region today producing Chile's finest premium wines. Today, the 4th and 5th generations fully own and run the winery and its land, making it the most family run Estate in the country. The three estates it manages are separated strategically across the valley, allowing different expressions from the varieties competitions, being the most gold awarded at International Competitions in 2003. Accolades among many others include: the 'Best South American Producer' award at the International Wine and Spirit Competition, London 2000. This Chardonnay is taken from a small plot at the centre of the Angostura Estate, called San Maximiliano. It has been recognised twice, at the Chardonnay du Monde Competition, as Chile's finest Chardonnay; at the Catad'Or, Chile's leading competition, it was also awarded Best Chardonnay. This wine is elegant, complex and has very pure fruit.
