Casa Marín

Casa Marín began in 2000, when María Luz Marín planted at Lo Abarca despite advice that the cold, foggy coastal site was unsuitable for vines. She was Chile’s first woman winemaker in the private sector. Lo Abarca lies only four kilometres from the Pacific, with morning fog and cold winds.

After a fifteen-year effort, Lo Abarca received its own denomination of origin in 2018. A new generation—Jamie Verbraak, Felipe Marín and Nicolás Marín—now carries the project forward while preserving its coastal focus.
