The single vineyard Don Melchor originates from 114 hectares at Puente Alto in the Alto Maipo Valley. At the foot of the Andes Mountains, this is the finest terroir for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. In 1984 Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle's vision for the vineyard compelled him to send samples of wine for eminent enologists to taste in Bordeaux. Jacques Boissenot's enthusiasm was immediate and he has been involved in the making of every vintage since.Excellent climatic conditions, marked by a high daily fluctuation, due to the strong influence of the Andes, allowed us to have a great expression of fruit, notes of freshness and excellent ripeness of tannins.This Don Melchor contains 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc.Enrique Tirado S.Winemaker

Tasting Notes
Deep cherry red in colour. Don Melchor 2017 is a wine with extraordinary elegance. Full of aromas and flavours and a marked presence of red berries. On the palate, there are strong notes of Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, with fine and delicate tannins, while also providing a good density and long-lasting finish

History
After more than 30 years, Don Melchor has become a reference for excellence, not just in Chile but as one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons in the world. With 3 appearances in the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of the World and 9 appearances in the Top 100. This identity is built upon a base of three fundamental pillars ”its impeccable heritage and history, the peerless conditions of its terroir, and the deep understanding and expertise in the making of the Don Melchor wine.

Regional Information
Puente Alto is a privileged terroir, determined by the singular combination of soil, climate conditions, the vineyard, and a delicate human touch to craft vintages that are a faithful expression of this special place. Located at the foot of the Andes, 650 metres above sea level, the Don Melchor winery is set on the north bank of the Maipo River and has long been a keystone in the history of Chilean wine. Ever since French pre-phylloxera vines were imported in the mid-19th Century, this part of the Maipo Valley has been growing in prestige and quality, building on a past rich in tradition.

Current Vintage
