Chile's benchmark cool-climate wine region — the Casablanca Valley between Santiago and the Pacific coast. The maritime influence from the cold Humboldt Current creates growing conditions ideal for Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Established commercially in the 1980s by Viña Casablanca and Concha y Toro, the valley quickly became Chile's reference for white wine and the country's most credible Pinot Noir zone. The diurnal temperature variation (up to 25°C day-to-night) preserves acid and aromatic freshness.
| Year | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 93 | Another strong Casablanca vintage with the Pacific influence well-expressed. The Chardonnay shows exceptional freshness and citrus precision; Pinot Noir achieved excellent colour and red fruit intensity. One of the valley's most consistent recent years. |
| 2021 | 91 | Good standard vintage in Casablanca: the maritime influence delivered consistent quality across all varieties. The Sauvignon Blanc is particularly successful — fresh, mineral, and expressive. Reliable year-in, year-out quality from the valley. |
| 2020 | 93 | A vintage with ideal conditions for Casablanca's cool-climate varieties: extended fog influence and moderate temperatures preserved the natural acidity that distinguishes Casablanca from warmer Chilean valleys. Excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. |
| 2018 | 92 | Good Casablanca vintage with the characteristic maritime influence well-expressed. The Chardonnay is generous and approachable; Pinot Noir shows good structure and freshness. The 2018 vintage demonstrates the reliable quality of the Pacific-cooled valley. |
| 2015 | 94 | Outstanding Casablanca vintage: cooler than typical with extended Pacific fog influence through January. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc show extraordinary mineral freshness; Pinot Noir achieved perfect ripeness with preserved acidity. Best year in recent memory for age-worthy Casablanca whites. |
