✨ Technical Specifications
The Marques de Casa Concha line was launched in 1976 as a tribute to the noble title bestowed upon the family of Concha y Toro's founder by King Philip V of Spain in 1718. This Cabernet Sauvignon is primarily sourced from the high-altitude, alluvial terraces of the Maipo Valley within Chile's Central Valley, specifically the renowned Puente Alto and El Mariscal vineyards. Nurtured by cool Andean breezes and gravelly soils, the grapes develop intense concentration and refined tannins. The wine is traditionally aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months, yielding a classic, structured Chilean Cabernet characterized by vibrant red fruit, cassis, graphite, and subtle smoky notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's preeminent wine producer and a cornerstone of South American winemaking history. Headquartered in Pirque within the historic Maipo Valley, the estate originated with noble French cuttings sourced directly from Bordeaux, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that now spans Chile's finest valleys from Limarí to Peumo. Concha y Toro pairs cutting-edge viticultural science with meticulous stewardship, crafting wines that reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the Central Valley, Aconcagua, and southern regions. The winery is universally celebrated for benchmark red varietals—most notably expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère—exemplified in prestige cuvées such as Carmín de Peumo, the Terrunyo series, and the enduring Marques de Casa Concha label.
