About The Producer
Don Melchor began as a bold vision brought to life in 1987 by Chile's largest wine house, Concha y Toro, aiming to create the country's first ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon from the exceptional Puente Alto terroir in Maipo Valley. Launched as a pioneering icon wine, it immediately set a new standard for Chile, earning global recognition and consistently ranking among the world's top wines.
Today, Don Melchor is a standalone icon in its own right, produced from meticulously managed vineyards nestled at the foot of the Andes, with ultra-fine parcel division and agroecological practices that enhance complexity and sustainability. Its 2021 vintage not only marked the 35th harvest but was crowned **Wine of the Year** by *Wine Spectator's* Top 100, securing Don Melchor's place as the most celebrated Chilean wine on the global stage.
