✨ Technical Specifications
Gravas Cabernet Sauvignon is a prestigious tribute to the stony, gravel-rich soils of the Maipo Valley within Chile's Central Valley. The name 'Gravas' directly references the ancient gravel terraces deposited by the Maipo River at the foot of the Andes Mountains. These poor, free-draining soils force the vines to dig deep for nutrients, resulting in naturally low yields of highly concentrated, structured fruit. Crafted with meticulous care, the wine is aged in French oak barrels to refine its powerful tannins, yielding a classic Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon characterized by intense aromas of dark berries, graphite, and a signature touch of Andean mint.
🍾 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.
