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 : Deep ruby red, intense and opaque.
Nose : A generous, powerful and layered bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and blackberry, interwoven with mineral notes, fine vanilla, coffee, black pepper and earth.
Palate : Dense and full-bodied, the wine fills the mouth with round, ripe and refined tannins, leaving an overall impression of balance and persistence. From an extremely warm but superb vintage, this well-structured wine with balanced acidity has a wonderful combination of elegance and power, with a long and promising ageing potential.
