Description

Almaviva evaluated by Almavi Concha y Toro and Bordeaux Baron de Rothschild (1st growth red wine producer) is the conditions of Bordeaux, it can be said that the cooperation with the advanced winemaking technology of Bordeaux has jointly created the perfect crystallization of the owner. Produce intriguing and timeless delicious red wine.

Almaviva's grapes come from Puente Alto, the quintessence of Chile's best Maipo region, where the terroir is ideal for the growth of Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc. 1996 is the first year to ask the market. In just over ten years, it has established a worldwide reputation, becoming not only one of the best Chilean red wines, but also regarded as a world-class top wine.

The wine label of Almaviva Living Soul Winery is also very special, with a circular pattern on the label representing the earth and the universe in the time of the Mapuche people. The logo appears on a drum used in a religious ceremony, showing the winery's respect for Chilean history and culture. On both sides of this circular pattern, two names are written: "Baron de Rothschild" and "Château de Concha".

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

The first truly international release of the second wine is going to be the 2019 Epu, which has changed image and label, looking a little more like Almaviva, and is going to be sold through the Bordeaux négoce. 2019 was a very dry vintage, and the blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Carmenere, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc with slightly higher alcohol than 2018 and with lower acidity, matured in used barriques for one year. In terms of freshness, the wine is quite similar to the 2018 that I tasted next to it, obviously a little younger, quite intense and fruit-driven, spicy and herbal, with a creamy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's a second wine, but they also want to do something different and Epu is perhaps a little more classical, perhaps this is more Bordeaux and Almaviva is more Chilean. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020 and January 2021.
