The 2016 vintage of Almaviva from Chile is an exceptional wine that captivates the senses from the first pour. Its deep ruby red colour immediately catches the eye, hinting at the intensity and richness to come. On the nose, enticing aromas of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, mingle with subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, and cocoa. The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins supporting flavors of ripe cherries, cassis, and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of dried herbs and spices. This is a complex and sophisticated wine that showcases the best of Chilean terroir, and will continue to evolve beautifully with age. A true masterpiece from Almaviva in the 2016 vintage.
Winemakers Notes
Almaviva, two cultures, one great wine
In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A., and Don Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, Chairman of Viña Concha y Toro S.A., sealed a profound alliance, with a view to create an exceptional Franco-Chilean premium wine called Almaviva. Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties Almaviva is the result of an encounter between two cultures. Chile contributing with its nature, soil, climate and vines, while France contributes with its winemaking know-how, elegance and traditions.
Puente Alto offers ideal conditions for growing the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Characteristic features of Puente Alto include its stony soil, cold winters, and the hot days and cool nights of its summers.
