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.

The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
