and Argentina, Don Melchor was the only<br />
Chilean wine with two vintages within this<br />
exclusive selection.<br />
Its 2012 vintage was among the best 10,<br />
occupying the sixth place in the ranking,<br />
a privileged standing which it obtained<br />
thanks to the historical 98 points while<br />

positioned itself at the 50th place.<br />

wine and one of the greatest ambassadors<br />
of Chile around the globe.<br />
