Viña Casa Marín was founded in 2000 by winemaker Maria Luz Marín, who had one thing in mind: making 'terroir wines' in Chile. Her project was innovative and daring, but she is now loved and praised and an example for many others in Chile! María Luz is the first female winemaker and winery in Chile. After graduating from the University of Chile with a degree in agronomy and winemaking, Maria Luz worked in several wineries, not the least of which was having worked for Romanee Contie. She has successfully positioned her fine delicate wines in the top markets and among international critics, where they stand out for their high quality. Vina Casa Marin is currently one of the top from Chile and is a model of beautiful elegant cool-climate wines.
María Luz is clear: the Cipreses is 'the flagship in our portfolio'. This wine has already been voted the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world twice (Concours Mondial du Sauvignon and Decanter World Wine Awards). The basis for this lies in the vineyard. It is rich in granite and slate, and benefits from the coolness of the Humboldt Current. The vines are planted on a hill, in rows that run from north to south. Thanks to an optimal zone exposure, the grapes ripen perfectly and get the best out of the special soil of red clay, volcanic material and limestone. A wine full of character, depth and richness, and a perfect expression of the calcareous terroir of Lo Abarca. Delightful sauvignon aromas of gooseberry and freshly cut grass float out of the glass. The taste is clean and pure, offering notes of stone fruit, citrus fruit and minerals.
Viña Casa Marín was founded in 2000 by winemaker Maria Luz Marín, who had one thing in mind: making 'terroir wines' in Chile. Her project was innovative and daring, but she is now loved and praised and an example for many others in Chile! For several years, María Luz has been assisted by her son Felipe, a winemaker who gives shape to his mother's dream with the same passion and drive. Today the domain has 50 hectares of vineyard divided into 38 different plots. Much of the vineyard is located on limestone and granite soils. These conditions result in vines that can produce superior quality fruit. All grapes are harvested by hand, only when they are perfectly ripe. Due to the great diversity in terroirs and grape varieties, coupled with the cool climate, the harvest takes a very long time; from the beginning of March to the end of May! All harvested grapes are vinified separately in small vats.
