Description
EPU, the name of Almaviva's second wine, means "two" in the language of the Mapuche, one of the main indigenous cultures of southern Chile. Th¬e symbol is a reference to the Tupu, an ornament which expresses fundamental aspects of the worldview of various ancient Andean civilisations.
EPU comes from the same exceptional vines and terroir of Almaviva, Puento Alto, one of the coolest areas of Chile's Maipo Valley that offers the perfect conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon which is the heart of the blend. Modelled on the second wines of the most prestigious Bordeaux châteaux and produced in very limited quantities, EPU shares many characteristics of Almaviva, nonetheless, expressed through its own personality.
Having forged its own personality along the years, Cabernet Sauvignon is predominant in EPU at more than 80% of the blend, while its proportion in Almaviva is closer to 70%, conferring the wine a different identity that is less creamy with more verticality than Almaviva.
EPU 2019, the first international release of EPU, is the perfect introduction to the exclusive world of Almaviva.

The Wine Advocate
Tasting
The nose is attractive, vibrant and fruit forward, with aromas of wild raspberry and cassis, combined with subtle notes of spices and tea leaves.
On the palate, the attack is round and pleasant; nicely balanced between tension and ripeness, density and ¬finesse, the wine presents smooth and polished tannins. The predominant Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the pure expression of the Puente Alto terroir, with an intense, fresh and distinctive fruit of cassis and berries.
An elegant, harmonious and youthful wine, with persistent notes of vanilla and red berries throughout its long savoury fi¬nish.
