Hand-harvested grapes from the exceptional 2021 vintage—marked by cool nights and warm days yielding concentrated yet balanced fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 15 months' aging in French oak barrels (70% new) to enhance depth and finesse. This flagship, named after founder Don Melchor Concha y Toro, yields a deep ruby wine with garnet edges and profound intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant, powerful red with ripe black fruit and refined structure, reflecting Puente Alto’s gravelly terroir.
