Casa Marín's Felipe Marín Named Best Winemaker 2024 by Susie & Peter MWs
We are thrilled to share that Felipe Marín, the talented winemaker and viticulturist of Casa Marín, has been named Best Winemaker of 2024 by Susie Barrie MW and Peter Richards MW as part of their "Chile Wines of the Year 2024" awards.
Casa Marín was founded in 2000 by Felipe's mother, María Luz Marín. María defied sceptics by planting vineyards just 5km from the sea in Lo Abarca. Her skill and determination paid off when Robert Parker hailed Casa Marin's first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc as the best white wine made in South America.
Felipe, who studied Viticulture in Sonoma, California, and Oenology in Marlborough, New Zealand, has built upon this legacy as the winery's winemaker and viticulturist. This prestigious recognition highlights his exceptional skill in crafting outstanding wines that truly represent the unique terroir of Lo Abarca.
He and his mother have solidified Casa Marín's reputation for producing high-quality wines that stand out on the global stage. From its dedication to environmental sustainability to its use of green practices in the vineyard, Casa Marín continues to push boundaries and redefine what Chilean winemaking can be.
We invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable achievement and to discover the exceptional wines from Casa Marín.
