✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chile's Central Valley, the Concha y Toro Late Harvest Private Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the country's diverse winemaking capabilities. This luscious dessert wine is crafted from grapes left on the vine long past the standard harvest, allowing them to dehydrate and concentrate their natural sugars, occasionally kissed by the elusive botrytis cinerea. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the vibrant aromatic profile of the variety, followed by brief aging to enhance complexity. The result is a golden-hued nectar that beautifully balances rich sweetness with the signature bright, crisp acidity of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, offering expressive notes of honey, ripe papaya, apricot, and citrus peel.
🍾 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.
