✨ Technical Specifications
Cono Sur was established in 1993 as an innovative offshoot of Concha y Toro, specifically designed to push the boundaries of Chilean winemaking with a focus on expressive, cool-climate varieties and eco-friendly viticulture. The iconic bicycle on the 'Bicicleta' label is a tribute to the estate's vineyard workers, who travel through the vines by bicycle to minimize the carbon footprint and maintain the natural balance of the land. This Pinot Noir is sourced from cool-climate vineyards across Chile, where coastal breezes and cool nights preserve the grape's delicate acidity and bright fruit profile. Vinified primarily in stainless steel to emphasize purity of fruit, this wine represents Chile's successful pioneering of accessible, high-quality Pinot Noir.
🍾 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.
