✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Pirque vineyard in the Maipo Valley, the Terrunyo Cabernet Sauvignon Block Terrazas is a masterclass in Chilean terroir. The grapes are sourced specifically from 'Las Terrazas' (Block 3), situated on the old alluvial terraces of the Maipo River. Here, stony, nutrient-poor soils force the vines to dig deep, while cold evening breezes cascading down from the Andes Mountains create a dramatic diurnal temperature shift. This unique microclimate slows ripening, allowing the grapes to develop intense concentration, refined tannins, and a signature profile of cassis, graphite, and fresh mint. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine represents Concha y Toro's dedication to expressing the purest identity of a single, exceptional vineyard block.
🍾 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.
