The award-winning Casa Silva estate was founded by Emilio Bouchon who arrived in Chile from Bordeaux in 1892. Today, it's run by Mario Pablo Silva, who has made the property one of the leading estates in Chile. The family has pioneered new regions there and been at the forefront of research into viticulture. You can taste that expertise and enthusiasm in this red. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Carmenère, this 2019 Casa Silva is extremely smooth and juicy with fresh red berry and black cherry fruits.

This juicy, full-of-fruit red sums up the best of Aussie wine – gorgeous ripe flavour, good intensity and freshness. Way & Cat is short for ‘wayfaring catador’, catador being Spanish for taster.
So the name is a tribute to how the team source their fruit – they head out into the vineyards to taste the grapes of their grower friends. When they find the selections they like, they vinify each parcel separately, then blend the results into fruit first expressions of the varieties they chose. That blend changes vintage by vintage, depending on what performs well that year. It's top for versatility too – great as a glass on its own, tasty with roasted vegetable quiche, sausage and mash. And just the ticket at a barbecue.
If you're a fan of minerally, zesty Sauvignon Blancs, then don't miss this very special offer on a prestigious Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. One delicious and refreshing sip will have you reaching for more – and more!
Why no name on the bottle? For many reasons, wineries often have a small surplus of fine wine that they can't bottle themselves, and need to find a home for quickly. When they do, they know who to call – us! We bottle it under a special 'Limited Release' label. That way, the producer's prestigious brand is protected, but our lucky customers get to enjoy a stunning wine at a fraction of the price it would normally command. It's a win-win all round!
Sometimes the producer doesn't want anyone to know who's behind the wines. Other times, (like this time!) they are happy for us to reveal their identity to our customers in our emails or on our website.
Did someone say bargain? This is a premium Sauvignon from the boutique biodynamic and organic Matetic winery in Chile. Their wines are stunning (they regularly win many awards), and if this bottle featured their name it would sell for so much more. But here's the thing! It doesn't – so it's yours at an AMAZING price for the quality.
It's worth looking out for this 'Limited Release' label! We reserve the 'Limited Release' label only for exceptional one-off parcels of wine that need rescuing. Both quality and price need to be 'knockout' impressive, and this dazzling Chilean Sauvignon fits the criteria perfectly.
Bío-Bío beautiful … All the grapes are from the cool Bío-Bío region (although the label isn't allowed to say that). Over 400 kilometres south of Santiago, it's one of Chile's most southerly wine regions. It lies close to the Bío-Bío river and receives both plentiful rainfall and early morning fog. Hence there's a real green, grassy edge and minerally freshness to this delicious white. As one of our customers say, it's very similar to a Sancerre:
"Almost Sancerre. Got a trial parcel of this wine, which arrived yesterday, tasted it last night and I'm ordering a dozen this morning. I guess that says it all! " (Customer review)
Since its launch, Casa Silva has become widely regarded as one of Chile’s best and named 'Winery of the Year' four times. It was founded by fourth generation Mario Silva, from one of Chile's oldest winemaking dynasties. They started in Angostura, but their latest venture is in Paredones, Colchagua. Just 6km from the coast, it is described by Decanter as "a source of terrific whites and reds".
Casa Silva has been one of its ardent pioneers, championing the region's ability to produce seriously fine, cool climate wines. Cool Coast Pinot Noir is an outstanding example of what they can do: brimful of ripe raspberry, with an elegant freshness. If this were from New Zealand you’d be paying twice as much. Perfect on its own or with white meats.

However, a down draught from the Andes and the Pacific’s Humboldt Current both help to moderate temperatures by day and ensure very cold nights.
In addition, the sunlight is exceptionally bright and snowmelt from the Andes provides all the irrigation water required.
Viña Falernia, one of only two wineries in the valley, was built in the late 1990s by Italian Giorgio Flessati and won a Trophy with its first vintage. Elqui produces “some particularly gutsy Syrah at altitudes of over 2,000 metres” (World Atlas of Wine), and the Carmenère is equally robust.
Deep bramble, cassis and spice character, it's great with lamb. Best decanted.
It won a Trophy for its first release, another Trophy and Gold for 2007 and 2009, and Gold for 2010.
It’s from the Elqui Valley, an extraordinarily high region next to the Atacama Desert.
Thanks to the wonders of irrigation, flourishing green vineyards stand out in stark contrast to their moonscape surroundings.
The award winning Viña Falernia was set up by Italians Aldo Olivier Gramola and Giorgio Flessati in 1995 and is one of only two wineries here.
Today they have extensive vineyards and a cellar packed with state of the art equipment.
With impressive richness, great complexity and finesse, this is a wine to decant and serve with roast lamb on a special occasion.
There aren't too many spots on the planet where Pinot Noir really excels. Burgundy and New Zealand's South Island spring to mind. But there is another, less known region blessed with perfect conditions for world class Pinot Noir: Colchagua Valley, Chile. The Silva family realised this many decades ago and now set the benchmark for outstanding Pinot Noir. They have four times won 'Winery of the Year', while Vitis named them 'Most awarded of the century'.
Velvet smooth, it gives many a pricier Pinot a run for its money. Full of that classic red berry and spice complexity that fans of this grape adore, the wine spent a few months in French oak, which adds a further toasty richness to the ripe summer fruit. Excellent with creamy chicken dishes.
