✨ Technical Specifications
Concha y Toro's 'Serie Riberas' (Riverbank Series) is a tribute to the cooling influence of Chile's river basins. This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from select vineyards situated along the banks of the Tinguiririca River in the Colchagua Valley, within the broader Central Valley. The proximity to the riverbed provides constant breezes that moderate temperatures, allowing for a slow, even ripening process that preserves natural acidity and coaxes out intense red fruit aromas, subtle spice, and structured tannins. Aged in French and American oak, this wine represents a modern, terroir-driven expression of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, highlighting the crucial role that water and geography play in shaping the country's finest wines.
🍾 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.
