The Marques de Casa Concha line, first launched in 1976, pays tribute to the hereditary title bestowed upon the founder of Concha y Toro, Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro, by King Philip V of Spain in 1718. This Malbec is primarily sourced from the Lourdes Vineyard in the Maule Valley, within Chile's expansive Central Valley. Here, the clay-loam soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts yield a Malbec of remarkable concentration and freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested and aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances dark fruit intensity, floral notes of violet, and a refined, structured finish that reflects Chile's unique take on this classic Andean variety.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. 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.
