Winemaker's Notes:

A deep ruby red color with violet notes. The delicacy of the Cabernet Sauvignon coming from the Maipo Valley is very well meld with the volume and concentration of the Syrah coming from the Rapel Valley delivering pleasant blackberries aromas with touches of chocolate and toasted coffee. It shows itself as a fresh and easy drinking wine. Remarkable the acidity while the round tannins delivers a balanced structure and long and generous finish.

Owing to the blend, this wine is versatile for food pairing, from different cuts of red meat, to lamb, goat, duck and veal. Mature cheeses are equally recommended above all if they are used in sauces.

About Vina Concha y Toro:

In 1986, Rafael Guilisasti of Concha y Toro had a flash of inspiration that would set new precedents and raise the bar for Chilean winemaking forever. Armed with samples of Cabernet Sauvignon from Concha y Toro's Puente Alto vineyard, Cuilisasti traveled to France to meet Emile Peynaud, the father of modern winemaking. Peynaud was impressed and considered the samples to demonstrate the characteristics of a unique terroir. Guilisasti's pilgrimage echoed an equally significant voyage made a century earlier by founder, Don Melchor, who brought back to Chile the first samples of French rootstock. Now in its 22nd vintage, Don Melchor expresses the singular character of Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto and consistently demonstrates Chile's potential to create world-class wines.
