✨ Technical Specifications
Concha y Toro's Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc is a luscious sweet wine showcasing the diverse capabilities of Chile's Central Valley. Crafted from grapes left on the vine to concentrate their natural sugars under the warm Chilean sun, this wine benefits from the cool night breezes that preserve the grape's natural acidity. The result is a beautifully balanced dessert wine, golden in color, with rich aromas of honey, ripe papaya, apricot, and citrus blossoms. It represents a modern Chilean take on classic sweet wine traditions, balancing rich sweetness with a vibrant, refreshing finish.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is the titan of Chilean viticulture, responsible for positioning the nation on the global fine-wine map. Anchored in the Pirque subregion of the Maipo Valley along the alluvial terraces of the Maipo River, the estate commands access to premier vineyard blocks across the Central Valley, Aconcagua, Coquimbo, and southern Chile. Here, stony, gravel-dominant soils, intense Andean diurnal temperature swings, and cooling maritime winds cultivate fruit of striking phenolic maturity and brisk acidity. Controlled for decades by the Guilisasti family, with winemaking led by technical director Marcelo Papa, the house blends vast scale with plot-by-plot precision and certified B Corporation sustainability standards. From foundational benchmarks like the historic Casillero del Diablo to terroir-driven crus like Terrunyo and the legendary Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, the style exemplifies refined structure, savory typicity, and vibrant varietal purity.
