Don Melchor is the top-level wine from the illustrious Chilean winery, Concha y Toro, and has earned a reputation for consistently being one of the country’s highest quality red wines. This is a wonderful mature example composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Don Melchor Vineyard which sits at 650m elevation in the Puente Alto subzone of the Alto Maipo Valley. Now at peak maturity, this is a harmonious and elegant expression of the variety, perfect for serving alongside rich, slow-cooked meat dishes.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels (68% new, 32% second-use). El Niño vintage.Shaded garnet. Some rather animal notes on the nose. Very sweet, blackcurrant-pastille fruit. Big and vigorous but not too hot on the end. Though much more exuberant than some of the older vintages. Late picked because of El Niño – perhaps a bit forced?(JR)
