The Marques de Casa Concha line, debuted in 1976, pays homage to the noble title granted to the founder of Concha y Toro by King Philip V of Spain in 1718. This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of the Leyda Valley within the coastal zone of the Aconcagua region. Situated a mere 14 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean, the vines benefit from morning mists and cooling sea breezes that slow ripening and preserve natural acidity. Grown on rolling hills with clay and decomposed granite soils, the grapes are harvested by hand and fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks. This precise vinification captures the classic coastal Chilean expression: vibrant mineral tension, intense citrus aromas, and a distinct herbal complexity.

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.
