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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro and his wife, Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's most historic and globally recognized winery, headquartered in the picturesque commune of Pirque within the Maipo Valley. Under the stewardship of the Guilisasti family since the mid-20th century, the estate has expanded its reach across Chile's premier terroirs, from the coastal breezes of Casablanca to the warm, clay-rich soils of Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley. The winery is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and commitment to sustainability, producing world-class wines that showcase the diverse microclimates of Chile. Their portfolio is anchored by iconic expressions such as the critically acclaimed Carmín de Peumo Carmenere, the terroir-driven Terrunyo line, and the legendary, globally beloved Casillero del Diablo range.
