The 2017 vintage of Don Melchor received extraordinary recognition in the US magazine Wine Enthusiast. The publication listed it among the Top 100 Cellar Selections for 2020, placing Don Melchor among the top 10 and in sixth place.

This incredible mention helps consolidate the indisputable leadership of Don Melchor and its place as an exceptional wine, capable of expressing the magnificent terroir of Alto Maipo and positioning Chilean wines at the top of the global industry. Critic Michael Schachner – who awarded the vintage with an outstanding 95 points – describes it as follows: “a full, spicy nose is packed to the brim with smoky, toasty oak and earthy black-fruit aromas. A ripe, full and chewy palate is smooth in feel, while this classic Cabernet from Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley tastes of coffee, rich chocolate, toasty spices and blackberry. A lush, bold finish runs long, indicating that this will age well.”
