Concha y Toro's Central Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant testament to Chile's exceptional geography. Sourced from select vineyards across the fertile Central Valley, this wine benefits from a Mediterranean climate where warm, sunny days are tempered by cool evening breezes sweeping down from the Andes and in from the Pacific Ocean. This dramatic diurnal temperature variation allows the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to ripen slowly, retaining their signature crisp acidity and bright, expressive aromatics. Crafted primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pure fruit character, this wine captures the essence of Chilean sunshine in a glass, offering a lively profile of citrus, green apple, and subtle herbaceous notes that have made Concha y Toro a household name globally.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
