Description

From the family behind Mouton Rothschild and Opus One, Almaviva combines the grace of Bordeaux with the power of Napa.

Almaviva is “one of the greatest wine producers in Chile, if not all of the world,” according to James Suckling, who awarded 97 points to this 2019. Drawing raw power and endless complexity from an outstanding vintage in the Maipo Valley, it stands with its First Growth Bordeaux and Napa Valley brethren as one of the most regal red wines in the world.

The Maipo Valley’s 2019 vintage was defined by dryness, which drastically lowered yields. Fortunately, the grapes that emerged were phenomenal—some of the tiniest, most densely concentrated clusters that growers had seen in years.

===============

Almaviva 2020 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux blend from the superstar Almaviva estate in the Maipo Valley of Chile. Established in 1996 as a joint-venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chilean wine giant Concha y Toro, Almaviva was conceived as the first Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé equivalent in Chile. The 2020 vintage - the estate`s 25th anniversary bottling - is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenere, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. "Fresh and deep nose, full of blueberries, minty cassis, mussels, cigars, dark spice and roasted sesame oak, which will need a year or two to fully integrate. A medium-to full-bodied Almaviva with supple, silky tannins and a wealth of black and blue fruit that provides a lot of charm now. Voluptuous and flattering on the palate, hallmarked by its tension and taut texture. Very long.
