Loica is the name of a typical Chilean bird that lives in almost all the territory. It's characterized by a lived red color in its neck, chest and upper abdomen in the male. When these birds are seen by the peasants in the plantations, they are a symbol of abundance and the promise of a good harvest.
Just as the Loica looks proud of her bright red chest, we wanted to reflect her pride through our Terroir, with the assurance that the symbolic of her appearances in the vineyards are the true reflection of our wines.
In 1994, Château Larose Trintaudon, a major French wine producer from the Bordeaux region, partnered with a traditional wine producer family from the Totihue region in Chile and together they founded Casas del Toqui Winery, producer of Loica Chile Wines. In 2010, their legacy was recaptured by the Court family who has a great passion for wine, contribuiting and adding their own unique and distinctive seal to the Company.
Casas del Toqui Winery, producer of Loica Wines was created with the intention to develop and produce high quality fine wines, to be commercialized both domestically and internationally. We are commited to excellence in the management of quality, labour safety and the environment, wich give us a privileged position in our category and allow us to be a role model for the chilean wine industry, as well as to fully satisfy our clients through the production of outstanding high quality fine wines.
Our philosophy is to try to achieve the maximum balance in each vine, always looking for the quality and identify of our wines, so they can be true reflection of their terrori. The majority of our vineyards are located in Alto Cachapoal, about 100 kilometers south of Santiago, where the alluvial soils and the mediterranean climate provide ideal conditions for grapevines. We are also sourcing and vinifying grapes from Alto Maipo, the intermediate zone of the Cachapoal Valley (Peumo), and from cool areas such as Casablanca and Paredones. Besides these locations, our technical team is constantly searching and evaluating new winegrowing areas. It is our innovative spirit that guides our steps.
