Viña Casa Marín was founded in 2000 by winemaker Maria Luz Marín, who had one thing in mind: to make 'terroir wines' in Chile. Her project was both 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 various wineries, including 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. Today, Vina Casa Marín is among the best in Chile and is a model of fine, elegant cool-climate wines.

Under Marilu's supervision, the Carmenère grapes are harvested by hand, and only when they are perfectly ripe. The Mar Y Luz Carmenère has a complex and intense aroma with notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, red flowers, laurel, a little pepper and light vanilla from the oak. The taste is intense, has ripe, fresh tannins, plenty of dark (forest) fruit and the finish is long and lively. A lot of wine for the money.

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.
