A little bit about the company

Wine "Sunrise" from Chile has its own niche in this company. It is one of the most popular in the European market, since drinks of this line are quite inexpensive.
Concha & Toro Estate
This company is the flagship of Chilean winemaking. The birthplace of Concha and Toro is the Maipo Valley. Now this manufacturer owns several plants, and the vineyards extend to almost ten thousand hectares, and this is only in Chile and Argentina. A little more than four hundred hectares are in California.
Among the company's products there are such elite drinks as Casilliero Diablo and Don Melhorn - these lines have a rich and interesting history, but not everyone can afford their price.
A bit of history
The winery was founded in 1883 by a politician from Spain, Melhorn de Concha and Toro. He and his wife Emiliana brought a set of selection vines from France to Chile. The couple decided not to experiment and hired Labushera, a winemaker from France.
Since the Maipo Valley is ideal for winemaking, and clay-limestone soils only contribute to the ripening of high-quality berries, things almost immediately went uphill. In 1933, the first bottles of wine from Chile entered the export market. In the mid-nineties of the last century, Concha and Toro shares appeared on the stock exchange in New York.
Company nowadays
At the moment, the company has its own vineyards in all the key valleys of Chile. But the old cellars, whose age has exceeded two centuries, are still in working condition, and to this day they are used to store wine.
