Overview:
The Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinguished wine from Concha y Toro, crafted in the esteemed Puente Alto Winery of Chile’s Maipo Valley. This exceptional red is a blend of fruit sourced from the El Mariscal and Pirque vineyards, located near the foothills of the Andes, at altitudes of 650 and 570 metres above sea level. The cool, semi-arid Mediterranean climate of the region, combined with rocky, alluvial soils, creates the ideal conditions for slow, concentrated ripening, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character. With 15 months of ageing in French oak and Piedmont foudres, this wine is the epitome of structure and elegance, offering great potential for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.
Tasting Notes:
The Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon is deep and dark in colour, with an aromatic profile that brings together cherries, cassis, and blackberries, complemented by subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and a hint of smoke. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and structured, with firm tannins that add complexity and depth. The finish is long and refined, with the wine’s robust flavours lingering elegantly. This bold Cabernet pairs beautifully with grilled, roasted, or braised red meats and complements a wide range of cheeses, making it an ideal choice for a variety of occasions.
