CONCHA Y TORO

Red fruits, spices and toasted wood aromas, with a tasty and fresh palate, persistence and balance.

Producer Information

Concha y Toro’s history begins with their founder’s Melchor Concha y Toro`s dream to create the best wines. A tradition persevered over time, inspiring them to work with passion and excellence.

In 1883, Melchor Concha y Toro, a prominent Chilean lawyer, politician, and businessman, decided to bet on Pirque’s winemaking potential. To do so, he brought in French vines from the Bordeaux region, and invested in winemaking machinery and a subway vault to store his wines. From this visionary gesture, Concha y Toro has been distinguished by Drinks International, placing it number one in its annual report of The World’s Most Admired Wine Brands.

Wine Making

The grapes are picked both manually and mechanically in March and April. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks and epoxy concrete containers for 4 months.

Tasting Note

Intense, bright red, with aromas of red fruits and spices with a hint of toasted wood. The palate is tasty and fresh, with persistence and good balance.

Food Matching

A great all-rounder with red meats, lamb, burgers, pasta, ragu sauces and pizza.
