✨ Technical Specifications
The Marques de Casa Concha Cinsault Rosé represents a modern, terroir-driven exploration into Chile's historic southern viticultural roots in the Itata Valley. Sourced from ancient, dry-farmed bush vines grown on weathered granitic soils, this wine pays homage to the traditional viticulture of the Sur region. While the Marques de Casa Concha line is historically famous for its robust Maipo reds, this pale, delicate rosé showcases a different side of Chilean heritage. Crafted with minimal skin contact and fermented in stainless steel tanks, it captures the vibrant, wild character of Itata's coastal-influenced landscape, yielding a wine of remarkable freshness, subtle minerality, and bright red fruit 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.
