✨ Technical Specifications
The Marques de Casa Concha label, debuted in 1976, pays homage to the noble title bestowed upon the founder of Concha y Toro, Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro, in 1718. This Carmenere is sourced primarily from the legendary Peumo Vineyard in the Cachapoal Valley, a sub-region of Chile's Central Valley. Peumo's deep, clay-retaining soils and gentle river breezes create an ideal microclimate that allows the late-ripening Carmenere grape to mature slowly, shedding its aggressive green notes while retaining vibrant acidity. The wine undergoes careful aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a classic Chilean expression that balances dark fruit, black pepper, and subtle sweet spice with a velvety texture.
🍾 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.
