DO Lo Abarca

Since 2018, Lo Abarca has been recognized as a Denomination of Origin by the SAG, an achievement that distinguishes us as the only winery in Chile with its own DO. This recognition validates our commitment to an exceptional terroir, which allows us to create unrivalled wines that are awarded for their quality and character. At Casa Marin, our terroir is an extraordinary gift of nature, shaped by the proximity to the sea and the unique conditions of Lo Abarca. This coastal corner, once submerged under the ocean, is now home to soils rich in granite, limestone and marine deposits, which give an unmistakable character to our wines.
​With 90% of our vineyards planted on slopes of different orientations, Lo Abarca has a unique microclimate. Temperatures average less than 14°C, with highs rarely exceeding 26°C even on the hottest days of summer. This climate, comparable to England but with the radiant sun of the Mediterranean, makes a notable difference compared to other nearby valleys such as Leyda and Casablanca, making Lo Abarca a unique place for viticulture.
Casa Marin has 38 hectares divided into 57 small barracks, each with its own micro-terroir. These quarters reflect our obsession with detail and are represented on our capsules and corks, highlighting the exclusivity of each bottle. Unlike the flattest vineyards in the world, our slopes and low yields – just 3,500 kg per hectare – position us at the level of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards.
