Concha y Toro's Sunrise range is designed to celebrate the abundant sunshine of Chile's Central Valley, a region blessed with a Mediterranean climate where the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean create a natural barrier and microclimatic harmony. This Chardonnay is crafted to be fresh, vibrant, and highly approachable. The grapes are harvested from select vineyards across the Central Valley, where warm days develop rich tropical fruit flavors, and cool nights preserve essential acidity. To maintain its bright, fruit-forward profile, the wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with minimal to no oak contact. Notably, the Sunrise line represents Concha y Toro's commitment to the environment, being produced with a focus on carbon neutrality and sustainable practices, mirroring the pure, clean nature of the Chilean landscape.

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.
