Casa
Marin is the story of a dream by Maria Luz Marin to
produce wine in her small hometown of Lo Abarca.
Located in the cool coastal climate of the the San Antonio valley,
with the distinction of the vineyard nearest the Pacific
Ocean in South America, the winery produces sauvignon
blanc, sauvignon gris, reisling, gewurztraminer, pinot noir
and syrah. Their outstanding wines have received many awards
including, most recenty, the best Sauvignon Blanc in
the world at the Bourdeaux Sauvignon Blanc World Concourse
in 2010. They were also selected as winery of the year
by industry association Wines of Chile in 2010. In April 2009,
Robert Parker awarded 90+ points to all eight
Casa Marin wines. Maria Luz Marin is the first and only
female winemaker in Chile to establish her own winery.
A visit
to Casa Marin is a wonderful experience where you will share
in the history of the winery with the family, learn the challenges
they face in their extreme coastal climate, and taste their
wonderful wines. For those who have the time, we highly
recommend a stay in the vineyard villa on the top of
Lo Abarca hill.
