The British Master of Wine visited our Casona Don Melchor in Pirque to taste a new vintage of the iconic Puente Alto Cabernet Sauvignon.

As part of his trip to Chile to taste the new vintages of Chilean wines for the 2025 edition of his annual report, wine critic Tim Atkin visited our Casona Don Melchor to taste a new vintage of Don Melchor. 

This time, Enrique Tirado, CEO and Technical Director of Viña Don Melchor, along with winemaker Isabel Mitarakis, led a vertical tasting of Don Melchor, where they delved into the wine’s consistency, excellence, and elegance, highlighting the exceptional quality of this great Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto. 

“The 2022 vintage of Don Melchor, which will soon be available in our markets, is composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. This wine stands out for its intense aromatic expression, great concentration of flavors, energy, richness, and finesse, characteristics that reflect its origin in the acclaimed Puente Alto Denomination of Origin,” says Enrique Tirado. 

The upcoming Tim Atkin Chile Report for 2025 will be available in the coming months.
