Mexican leaders of opinion visit the country to get a closer view of the world of Chilean wine
A group of eleven leaders of opinion were in the country to live the wine experience closely and, through it, discover Chile. They chose Concha y Toro as their destination, taking part in tasting and activities with the most well-known winemakers.
Harvest 2013 in the Maule Valley
The chief winemaker in Maule valley, Héctor Urzúa, tells us how the harvest of the reds has been in this valley, and specifically in the beautiful Villa Alegre vineyard.
The winery’s nursery in its prime
Five months after having been taken to the field nursery, the grafted plants are full of life. Shoots have already been developed but it will not be until next spring before they reach their final destination.
Concha y Toro’s Wine-Tasting Centre
The neighbourhood of Vitacura is home to some of Santiago’s most exclusive spots. Alonso de Cordova is one of them; a street which can and has been likened to Rodeo Drive thanks to the glamorous shopping and dining opportunities it offers.
Concha y Toro’s vineyards today (part 4): February
While the vineyards of Pirque and Casablanca have faced unstable weather conditions during the summer, the necessary measures were taken so that today the grapes are in perfect condition and presage a successful 2013 harvest.
For wine alone
Ignacio Recabarren, the country’s leading winemaker and the creator of several landmark Chilean wines, harvests applause and with his obsessive, up-front style cultivates a reputation for being the “mad genius” of the industry. The price, he admits, has been high.
Ignacio Recabarren: All out for Carmenere
He recently received the lifetime achievement award from El Mercurio newspaper’s Wikén and Revista del Campo magazines, confirming once again his important contribution to the modernization and promotion of the Chilean wine industry. The winemaker tells us about one of his major achievements, the development of Carmenere
Mr. Carmenere
In the 1980s he was key in the technological modernization of Chilean wine. He positioned Chile as a producer of high quality Sauvignon Blanc in the early 1990s. In the 2000s he took Carmenere to Olympus with his Carmín de Peumo. Both admired and misunderstood, with him there is no half way. Recabarren is pure passion.
The vineyards of Concha y Toro today (part 3): December
It’s December in the Pirque Viejo vineyard and time for a second visit to the vineyards in the area. The flowering and setting have taken place and the shoots are now 1.10 meters in length on average. This size and volume of leaves will support the bunches well so that they form in an optimum way and prepare the bases for a great Cabernet Sauvignon.
