ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Don Melchor wine brand’s history began in 1883 when Marquis Melchor de Concha y Toro founded Via Concha y Toro and planted pre-phylloxera Bordeaux vines in Chile’s Maipo Valley. The Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon wine, launched in the 1980s, quickly gained international acclaim and became a benchmark for Chilean luxury winemaking, celebrated for its complex blend and Puente Alto terroir. The brand represents a lasting legacy of winemaking excellence, with each bottle capturing the spirit of the land.
