Chile’s leading wine guide, Descorchados, has awarded high scores to Concha y Toro’s fine wine portfolio.
The 2018 edition of Descorchados guide awards Concha y Toro with remarkable scores, once again positioning it as one of Chile’s most celebrated winemakers.
It rated the 2014 and 2015 vintages of Don Melchor with an extraordinary 95 points, ranking winemaker Enrique Tirado’s creation as one of the best cabernet sauvignons and one of the best wines from Puente Alto.
As a truly remarkable honor, the guide awards 92 points to the very first vintage of winemaker Marcelo Papa’s Marques de Casa Concha Rosé 2017, naming it the breakout wine of the year. Indeed, Descorchados 2018 rates the entire Marques de Casa Concha line with outstanding scores.
Meanwhile, Terrunyo Carmenere 2016’s score of 95 was enough for the guide to rate it as the best wine from the Peumo region and one of the best Carmeneres in the country. Other grape varieties in winemaker Ignacio Recabarren’s Terrunyo line were also highly praised: Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc 2017 rated 96 points for the third year running and was named best wine from the Casablanca region, while Terrunyo Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 was awarded a solid 96 points, together with the title of best wine from the Pirque region.
