terrunyo carmenere

Tended by the winemaker’s attentive hand, each varietal grows and ripens within its own particular terruño (the Spanish word for terroir), an exceptional piece of land in the heart of the very best vineyards of Concha y Toro. A terruño is a unique, well-delimited vineyard in which a micro-climate, the chosen grape stock, a select piece of soil and the expert hand of man interact, magically creating perfect harmony and delivering unrivaled quality.
