Tomás Tapia, the Chilean sommelier who was awarded Singapore's "Best Sommelier" by the prestigious Michelin Guide in 2024, visited Viña Don Melchor to learn more about the origin of Puente Alto's iconic Cabernet Sauvignon.

As part of his visit, Tomás Tapia—sommelier at the Michelin-starred Chilean restaurant Araya and recognized as “Best Sommelier” by Singapore’s 2024 Michelin Guide —visited Viña Don Melchor.  The tour was led by Isabel Mitarakis, Viña Concha y Toro’s Luxury Brands winemaker, who presented the exceptional qualities that make Puente Alto one of the best origins for producing high-end Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines. 

During the vineyard tour, Mitarakis showcased the agroecological practices being implemented in vineyard management; the progress made in managing the old vineyard, based on the studies, and results obtained so far with our innovative project: The Sundial Vineyard project.   

Visit to Casa Don Melchor 

The visit then continued at Casa Don Melchor, where a tasting of the 7 parcels from Don Melchor Vineyard was held, along with our current 2022 harvest and the 2014 Don Melchor harvest. 

We thank Tomás Tapia for this valuable visit, which will undoubtedly contribute to further consolidating Don Melchor’s positioning among the world’s best restaurants.
