3 de March, 2021
Puente Alto's icon 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon received the highest score awarded to a Chilean wine by prestigious British wine critic and Master of Wine, Tim Atkin.

Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 continues to collect renown by obtaining 98 points from British Master of Wine, Tim Atkin, the highest recognition awarded by this prestigious critic to a Chilean vintage.

This 2018 wine is one of the most exceptional vintages in the history of Don Melchor. It is a very expressive wine, with great personality and complexity, born from the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (91%), Cabernet Franc (5%), Merlot (3%), and Petit Verdot (1%), all from vineyards located at the foot of the Andes Mountains.

Puente Alto’s icon Cabernet Sauvignon spends 15 months in French oak barrels, first and second use, and has a cellaring potential of more than 35 years, during which time it maintains in optimal conditions the expressiveness and complexity that make it unique.
