✨ Technical Specifications
Amelia Pinot Noir represents Concha y Toro's quest to express the unique, cool-climate terroir of the Limar Valley in the northern Coquimbo region. Named in honor of Amelia Subercaseaux, a woman of pioneering spirit and wife of the winery's founder, this wine is sourced from the Quebrada Seca vineyard, situated a mere 22 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. Here, the vines are heavily influenced by the cool coastal breezes and the morning 'camanchaca' fog, which slows ripening and preserves vibrant acidity. Crucially, the soils are rich in clay and calcium carbonate (limestone)—a rare geological feature in Chile—which imparts a distinctive mineral tension, chalky texture, and refined structure to the wine. Aged in French oak barrels, it showcases a sophisticated balance of red fruit, earthy undertones, and elegant coastal freshness.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's preeminent wine producer and a cornerstone of South American winemaking history. Headquartered in Pirque within the historic Maipo Valley, the estate originated with noble French cuttings sourced directly from Bordeaux, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that now spans Chile's finest valleys from Limarí to Peumo. Concha y Toro pairs cutting-edge viticultural science with meticulous stewardship, crafting wines that reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the Central Valley, Aconcagua, and southern regions. The winery is universally celebrated for benchmark red varietals—most notably expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère—exemplified in prestige cuvées such as Carmín de Peumo, the Terrunyo series, and the enduring Marques de Casa Concha label.
