Concha y Toro's Gravas del Maipo Syrah is a profound tribute to the silent influence of the Andes Mountains and the ancient gravel soils, or gravas, of the Maipo River basin. Sourced from the Quinta de Maipo vineyard in Buin, this ultra-premium Syrah thrives in alluvial terraces where stony, free-draining soils force the vines to dig deep, resulting in low yields of highly concentrated fruit. The cooling mountain breezes descending from the Andes help maintain vibrant acidity and elegant structure. Matured in French oak barrels, this wine showcases a sophisticated profile of dark berries, cracked black pepper, fresh violets, and a distinct mineral backbone, representing a masterclass in Chilean Syrah.
🍾 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.
