✨ 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
Established in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is the titan of Chilean viticulture, responsible for positioning the nation on the global fine-wine map. Anchored in the Pirque subregion of the Maipo Valley along the alluvial terraces of the Maipo River, the estate commands access to premier vineyard blocks across the Central Valley, Aconcagua, Coquimbo, and southern Chile. Here, stony, gravel-dominant soils, intense Andean diurnal temperature swings, and cooling maritime winds cultivate fruit of striking phenolic maturity and brisk acidity. Controlled for decades by the Guilisasti family, with winemaking led by technical director Marcelo Papa, the house blends vast scale with plot-by-plot precision and certified B Corporation sustainability standards. From foundational benchmarks like the historic Casillero del Diablo to terroir-driven crus like Terrunyo and the legendary Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, the style exemplifies refined structure, savory typicity, and vibrant varietal purity.
