✨ 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
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.
