Marques de Casa Concha is a line of Chilean wines launched in 1976 in honour of the noble title conferred upon the Concha y Toro family in 1718 by King Felipe V of Spain. The wines encompass the country’s diversity and embodies Concha y Toro's culture and tradition in the art of winemaking. The grapes are grown in vineyards in which the complex interplay between natural conditions, vineyard planning, and the age of the vines endows the entire line with unique character.
Marques de Casa Concha has become one of the most quality consistent wines, attracting international recognition year after year. Winemaker Marcelo Papa carefully selects the most suitable vineyard locations for each individual varietal to thrive. The use of a variety of small oak barrels from some of the best cooperages in France allows Marcelo to achieve an elegant and harmonious style of wines, which soften beautifully with age.
