More than 100 years ago, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro founded Viña Concha y Toro. From the start, he followed the advice of French experts which allowed him to produce high quality wines. In 1987 history repeated itself. This time not only did Concha y Toro produce the finest red wine in Chile, but it also created a Chilean wine of international distinction, comparable to the world's best wines. In honor of the founder of the vineyard, this wine was named Don Melchor.
Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon comes from grapes grown in a select area of the well known vineyards of Puente Alto, located in the very heart of the Maipo Valley, an ideal area for planting Cabernet Sauvignon. Poor soil, perfect climatic conditions, and proximity to the Andes Mountains combine to produce the finest Cabernet in Chile. After receiving expert agricultural care year-round, the grapes are gently harvested by hand in small baskets of 15 kilos each. The wine is then aged for 14 to 16 months in French oak barriques from the forests of Allier, Nevers and Troncais, among others, and then it is aged for an additional 12 months in bottles before release.
