Gran Reserva is recognized with great scores by James Suckling
Gran Reserva made a great showing when the American wine critic James Suckling gave the brand’s four varieties scores of over 90 points. Suckling visited Chile during February, along with the media outlet’s senior editor, Zekun Shuai.
Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, which is from the Colchagua Valley, garnered an extraordinary 93 points with its 2022 vintage. Meanwhile, the Carmenère variety also earned 93 points with its 2022 vintage; a wine that was born in the Cachapoal Valley.
Gran Reserva Malbec, a wine from the Colchagua Valley, stood out with 93 points for its 2022 vintage, while the fresh and light Sauvignon Blanc scored an important 90 points with its 2023 vintage.
These great results attest once again to the consistent quality of Gran Reserva over time, during which the foremost critics have awarded high scores to each of the brand’s varieties.

The Gran Reserva vineyards are an important part of the project to conserve native forest areas and protect local biodiversity. Our native forests have the ability to retain rainwater and control the kind of climate change that results from water shortages.
We take care of 1,432 hectares of protected forests and, on average per vineyard, a total of 105 species of fauna and 48 species of registered flora.
Our effort to preserve nature begins with responsible water consumption. 99% of the water we use comes from surface and subterranean sources.
Our vineyards are drip irrigated, which translates to a 90% efficiency on water consumption, and over the past 3 years, we’ve reduced our water footprint by 10%.
All of our winemaking processes require the use of energy. Our choice to invest in clean, renewable energy reflects our desire to co-create a sustainable planet for the future.
100% of the electricity used to make the wines in the Gran Reserva collection come from renewable sources, including solar energy.
Concha y Toro has been certified under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code since 2012, which means that our vineyards are officially recognized as sustainable vineyards.
The wines in our Gran Reserva collection are crafted entirely from estate-owned grapes in sustainably managed vineyards.
