✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
