Through an immersive experience carried out in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and China, the company deepened its strategy of premiumizing its products. Under the new concept of Jewels of the New World by Viña Concha y Toro, the company seeks to gain ground in a growing segment worldwide.

Viña Concha y Toro’s premiumization strategy continues to advance and now it has taken another step forward. Latin America’s largest wine company recently created the Luxury Brands Division, led by the vice president of fine wines, Isabel Guilisasti Gana, with the aim of satisfying the demanding consumers of this wine segment. A key step on this path was taken with the launch of Jewels of the New World by Viña Concha y Toro in multiple cities in Asia.

The “Jewels of the New World” collection is a special selection of nine luxury wines tailor-made by Viña Concha y Toro from the three origins where the company has vineyards: Chile, Argentina and the United States.

With the slogan “Discover rarity”, “Jewels of the New World” introduces a new concept of pairing premium wines, made with uniqueness, history and craftsmanship, through precious stones originating from the same American continent. By connecting the essence of each wine brand with the deep meaning of these stones, it offers customers an exquisite harmony between premium objects, made in the unique conditions of the American continent,” said Isabel Guilisasti, who led the tour of Asia together with Isabel Mitarakis Guilisasti, the company’s winemaker.Asia is a demanding and increasingly sophisticated market, explains Isabel Guilisasti. Some figures that illustrate this are: Asia accounts for more than 40% of Viña Concha y Toro’s luxury segment sales, led by China, Singapore and South Korea.

Guy Nussey, regional director of the group in Asia, based in Singapore, explains that the first country where the “Jewels of the New World” collection was launched was Singapore, and now the launch has been extended to Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and China with great success. “This is due to an exhaustive period of research and development focused on a novel process of approaching customers in this special segment of wine consumers. We are now in the full implementation phase of the program, developing multiple consumer touch points throughout the region.”
