✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within Chile's broader Aconcagua region, Concha y Toro's Terrunyo Riesling Block 6 represents a dedicated quest to capture the purest expression of terroir. The 'Terrunyo' initiative—derived from the Spanish word for terroir—selects ultra-specific vineyard parcels that demonstrate exceptional character. Block 6 of the El Triángulo Vineyard is defined by its red clay and gravel soils, heavily influenced by the morning fogs and chilling breezes sweeping in from the nearby Pacific Ocean. This unique microclimate allows the Riesling grapes to ripen slowly, retaining their vibrant, electric acidity while developing complex aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and a distinct mineral backbone. It stands as a testament to Chile's modern capability to produce world-class, cool-climate aromatic white wines.
🍾 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.
