✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within the broader Aconcagua region, the Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc Block 5 is a masterclass in maritime-influenced viticulture. Sourced specifically from Block 5 of the El Triángulo Vineyard, located just miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vines benefit from morning fogs and cooling sea breezes that prolong the ripening season. This unique microclimate allows the grapes to develop intense aromatic complexity while retaining a vibrant, electric acidity. Winemaker Ignacio Recabarren pioneered this expression, focusing on minimal intervention and stainless steel fermentation to preserve the pure, saline minerality and herbaceous, citrus-driven character that defines Chile's premier coastal 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.
