Viña De Toro Alexander

The winery

De Toro Alexander is a family project of signature wines that presents itself as the third generation of wine producers in its family. By the winery's account, it left chemical products behind in 2007 and fertilizes only with organic compost; its Instagram account dates its “organic passion” to 2019. Joaquín De Toro represents it in the Ruta del Vino del Valle del Maule (the Maule Valley Wine Route), where he serves as secretary of the board for the 2026-27 term. The online store is registered at the address of Terramaule Sur SpA, in Cauquenes, and the winery defines its origin as the southern Maule.

The vineyards lie in the Coastal Range, with sea wind, cool nights and hot days. They are irrigated from deep wells and from a reservoir (tranque) that collects winter water, home to ducks, swans and coypu. The technical sheets describe trellised vines planted between 2008 and 2010 on red clay soils with granite, and declare the Cauquenes, Maule Valley appellation. The land grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Carignan, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Viognier; harvesting is by hand and, according to the winery, only the best 2.5% of its production makes it into these bottles. The 2022 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan and the Ensamblaje Mediterráneo, of Syrah, Carignan and Garnacha, spend 12 months in French oak barrels; the line is completed by a 2024 Carménère. Unoaked is a Cabernet Sauvignon with no wood, and the newest additions are a Chardonnay and a Cinsault rosé from the 2026 harvest, bottled at the Universidad de Talca's Vine and Wine Technology Center. According to the winery, six of its wines scored 92 points in the Alistair Cooper MW by Catad'Or 2026 guide.

The winery publishes no visitor program on its website or on Instagram. The Ruta del Vino del Valle del Maule map notes a pre-arranged visit in Ranchillos, in the municipality of San Javier, with details to be confirmed, so write first by WhatsApp to +56 9 3670 7827 or to @detoroalexander.cl to find out whether there is room and where to meet. No restaurant or accommodation is published either. The most direct way to get to know the wines is the online store, which sells by the bottle and in cases of six, with shipping throughout Chile, free on orders over CLP 55,000. In June 2026 the producer announced that its wines had reached the Reserva Magna shop in Talca, and it usually takes them to fairs in Santiago, Talca and Cauquenes.
