Description
Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures.
Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions.
The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine. Its launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.

Tasting
Eye : Beautiful, deep, opaque dark ruby colour.
Nose : pure, concentrated and layered, revealing delicate and clean aromas of blackberry, ripe blackcurrant, blackcurrant and violet, combined with fine notes of tobacco, cedar and coffee bean.
Palate : remarkable amplitude and balance, pulpy texture, lively acidity, broad structure and persistence. The tannins are well refined, supple and silky, reinforcing the fresh and juicy character of the year. Precise and polished, the wine harmoniously combines elegance, richness, maturity and freshness in an exceptional and superb vintage.
