Concha y Toro's Gran Reserva Malbec, often associated with the 'Serie Riberas' range, is defined by its connection to Chile's riverbanks. Sourced from vineyards planted near the Tinguiririca River in the Colchagua Valley, the vines benefit from cooling breezes that moderate the warm Mediterranean climate, preserving acidity and freshness. Historically, Malbec arrived in Chile in the 1840s before making its famous journey to Argentina. This expression is aged in French and American oak barrels, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances intense black fruit, floral notes of violet, and a touch of sweet spice, representing a refined, coastal-influenced style of Chilean Malbec.
🍾 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.
