Concha y Toro's Gran Reserva Serie Riberas Chardonnay is an elegant expression of Chile's river-influenced terroirs. Sourced primarily from the Ucúquer vineyard on the south bank of the Rapel River, close to where it meets the Pacific Ocean, this wine benefits from the cooling breezes that travel along the river corridor. This unique microclimate moderates the daily temperatures, allowing the Chardonnay grapes to undergo a slow, even ripening process that preserves natural acidity and coaxes out vibrant citrus and mineral nuances. In the cellar, the wine undergoes partial fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, adding a delicate touch of vanilla, toasted brioche, and a creamy texture that beautifully balances its crisp, refreshing core.

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.
