✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within the greater Aconcagua region, the Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc Block 28 is a masterclass in maritime-influenced winemaking. Sourced specifically from Block 28 of the El Tringulo Vineyard, situated just miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vines benefit from morning fogs and cooling sea breezes that slow ripening and preserve electric acidity. Concha y Toro's winemakers utilize stainless steel fermentation and extended lees contact to craft a wine of immense purity, showcasing intense aromas of lime, grapefruit, and fresh-cut grass, underpinned by a distinct saline minerality. This wine captures the essence of Chile's coastal revolution, where the cold Humboldt Current shapes some of the Southern Hemisphere's most vibrant 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.
