✨ Technical Specifications
Concha y Toro's 'Unrated Xtra Cab' is a bold, contemporary expression of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted to challenge traditional wine norms. Rejecting the pressure of official critic scores, this wine focuses purely on delivering an intense, deeply concentrated, and highly satisfying drinking experience. Sourced from select vineyards across Chile's sun-drenched Central Valley, the grapes benefit from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts created by the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. This unique climate allows the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining a vibrant, balancing acidity. The wine undergoes careful fermentation and aging in oak to enhance its rich texture, resulting in a luscious profile dominated by dark fruits, sweet spices, and a velvety finish.
🍾 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.
