✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
