✨ 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
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.
