✨ 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
Established in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is the titan of Chilean viticulture, responsible for positioning the nation on the global fine-wine map. Anchored in the Pirque subregion of the Maipo Valley along the alluvial terraces of the Maipo River, the estate commands access to premier vineyard blocks across the Central Valley, Aconcagua, Coquimbo, and southern Chile. Here, stony, gravel-dominant soils, intense Andean diurnal temperature swings, and cooling maritime winds cultivate fruit of striking phenolic maturity and brisk acidity. Controlled for decades by the Guilisasti family, with winemaking led by technical director Marcelo Papa, the house blends vast scale with plot-by-plot precision and certified B Corporation sustainability standards. From foundational benchmarks like the historic Casillero del Diablo to terroir-driven crus like Terrunyo and the legendary Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, the style exemplifies refined structure, savory typicity, and vibrant varietal purity.
