ABOUT THIS WINE
Frontera is the widely recognized, global export line from Viña Concha y Toro, Chile's largest and most historic wine producer founded in 1883 by Don Melchor Concha y Toro. The brand name 'Frontera' translates to 'border' in Spanish, celebrating the unique geographical barriers that define and protect Chilean viticulture: the arid Atacama Desert to the north, the cold glaciers of Patagonia to the south, the towering Andes Mountains to the east, and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west. These natural boundaries insulate the Central Valley, creating a pristine environment for grape growing. The brand focuses on delivering reliable, everyday quality that captures the vibrant spirit of Chile's diverse terroirs.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Cabernet Sauvignon focuses on preserving fresh, primary fruit characteristics. Grapes are harvested from selected vineyards across the alluvial plains of the Valle Central and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. To maintain its approachable, fruit-forward style, the wine is aged for a brief period of two to four months in stainless steel tanks and epoxy concrete containers. Oak contact is kept to an absolute minimum, occasionally utilizing light oak-stave exposure to introduce subtle complexity without overpowering the grape's natural profile. Clarification is achieved using traditional fining agents.
