The robe: brilliant, attractive ruby red. The nose is fresh, pleasant and elegant, with aromas of dark fruit, cassis, cherry, blackberry and fig, dominating a delicate fragrance of vanilla, tea and earthiness. In the mouth, the flavour is supple and round, well balanced between the crunchy red fruit and a silky tannic structure.

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. The 2021 vintage Weather conditions After a long period of drought during the previous cycle, the rains came back in winter to initiate the vintage 2021 with excellent auspices. The following months were totally dry, until it surprisingly rained at the end of January 2021, with 54 mm of rainfall at mid-veraison. We had then, fortunately, not any new rain until the end of the harvest. Spring was warm then Summer was cool, especially after the unexpected rain of January. The average summer temperature was 1°C lower than average, and 1,5°C lower than 2020. The cooler conditions from January to harvest generated an optimal ripening process, great fruit and freshness in the grapes, tension, length, and perfect balance in the wines. An exceptional and unique vintage with great acidity and persistency. Tasting notes Almaviva 2021 captivates with its deep ruby red brilliance and fresh, elegant, complex nose. An alliance of ripe fruit and subtle oral aromas dominates initially, before leaving place to ne notes of violet, licorice, ink and graphite. e juicy attack of ripe fruit such as raspberry and blackcurrant is well- balanced by a delicate structure and a ne texture of smooth and polished tannins, well coated with savors of vanilla and cocoa. e mouth is harmoniously balanced by a great acidity. Almaviva 2021 is an exquisite combination of freshness, elegance and balance, a faithful expression of an exceptional vintage.
