✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
