The Marques de Casa Concha Chardonnay is a brilliant testament to the cool-climate potential of Chile's northern Limari Valley in the Coquimbo region. Named in honor of the noble title bestowed upon the winery's founder by King Philip V of Spain in 1718, this line represents historic elegance. Sourced primarily from the Quebrada Seca vineyard, located just miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vines benefit from the cooling Camanchaca morning fog and unique, calcium carbonate-rich limestone soils. This distinctive terroir imparts a striking mineral tension and vibrant acidity to the wine. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels with careful battonage, it beautifully marries rich, creamy textures of hazelnut and toasted brioche with bright, fresh pear and citrus notes.

Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
