✨ Technical Specifications
The Marques de Casa Concha heritage dates back to 1718 when King Philip V of Spain bestowed the noble title upon the family of Concha y Toro's founder. This Edicion Limitada Chardonnay represents a modern exploration into Chile's cool southern frontier, specifically the Bío-Bío Valley in the Sur region. Benefiting from a cold climate, abundant rainfall, and red clay soils of volcanic origin, the grapes undergo a slow ripening process that preserves intense natural acidity. The wine is typically fermented and aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a sophisticated Chardonnay that beautifully marries vibrant citrus and green apple notes with a delicate toasted hazelnut complexity and a creamy, textured finish.
🍾 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.
