✨ 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
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.
