Marcelo Papa, chief winemaker with Concha y Toro, has been on a journey away from excessive ripeness. He has been picking as much as a month earlier for the Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon. While his experiments began in 2010, it&#8217;s only with this 2014 vintage that the wine was made entirely from early-picked grapes. In addition, Marcelo is moving away from small oak barrels towards large botti, although because of the cost, this shift is taking a little longer to complete.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes less of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and is actually quite serious. At it&#8217;s price point (c\u00a312 in the UK), it&#8217;s a really lovely wine, and I picked a bottle up in Asda for \u00a38.50 on special offer. It&#8217;s probably the best \u00a38.50 wine on the market! Normally, I wouldn&#8217;t be that interested by Marques de Casa Concha&#8217;s Cabernets, because until now they have been solid, typically Chilean, ripe but dull. But I really like this wine.<\/p>\n<p>Here, I taste it on camera.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7O1L6VmQYls?rel=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an important wine for Chile.
