A proponent of sustainable farming practices, Marcia says respecting the vineyard is crucial. Though she has over 20 years of professional winemaking experience, Marcia’s introduction to the grape goes back to her childhood. Born in Santiago, Chile, to parents of Spanish and Italian ancestry, Marcia often spent time at her family’s Maule Valley ranch, which had a wine cellar. She was forbidden to enter the cellar but would peer through the gate, observing the large barrels of native oak and inhaling the aromas. She felt like the cellar was “something mysterious and magical.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matanzas Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47318298001632,"sku":"123725","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/matanzas-creek-chenin-blanc_1.jpg?v=1746220466","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/matanzas-creek-chenin-blanc-2023-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
