✨ Technical Specifications
The Marques de Casa Concha Etiqueta Negra is a prestigious red blend that represents the pinnacle of the historic Marques de Casa Concha line, first introduced in 1976. The name itself pays homage to the noble title of 'Marques de Casa Concha' bestowed upon the founder's ancestor, José de Santiago Concha y Salvatierra, by King Philip V of Spain in 1718. Sourced primarily from the renowned El Mariscal vineyard in the Puente Alto D.O. of the Maipo Valley, this wine benefits from the cooling influence of the Andes Mountains and stony, alluvial soils. The blend is meticulously crafted, combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the aromatic elegance of Cabernet Franc and the deep color of Petit Verdot, before being aged in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply concentrated, complex wine that captures the historic soul and modern refinement of Chilean winemaking.
🍾 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.
