Almaviva - Puento Alto 2019

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 2019 Bordeaux Blend Almaviva is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot from Puente Alto that spent 18 months in three-fourths new barrels. Purple in color. The remarkably detailed nose begins and ends with notes of blackberry, black currant and blueberry, while in between, balsamic aromas ranging from camphor to ash appear along with a whiff of violets. All of the above comes packaged in a cigar box. Sugary initially, the flow is creamy and expansive, with polished tannins, while it grows more compact later on, stretching out the flavors. A red that showcases the best of Maipo.

Anthocyanes

Avec un nez subtil et frais, Almaviva 2018 impressionne par sa qualité aromatique et sa complexité. Arômes de cassis, de framboise, de graphite, de réglisse avec des notes de fleurs et de menthol. Le toucher de bouche, juteux et charnu, est d'une puissance impressionnante et se découvre sous un atour moelleux et rond assez inédit pour le cru. Une très belle acidité vient tendre l'ensemble en fin de bouche, ce qui lui apporte une finale aérienne et franche. Dépassant 2018, ce millésime fera date à la propriété. Bravo ! À conserver 15 à 25 ans.

The 2019 Almaviva is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carmenère (from Peumo), 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot, higher in Carmenere and reflecting a warmer and drier vintage when then bottled wine reached 15% alcohol. It fermented with destemmed grapes in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels, 75% of them new, for 18 months. Here, the Carmenere adds herbal freshness and changes the aromatic profile when compared with the 2019 Epu. 2019 was a good year for Carmenere, which suffers in extremely warm years like 2017, but in moderately warm years like 2019, the variety displays that herbal character and has good density. It's full-bodied and round, with saturated tannins, tasty, spicy and long, with a dry, serious finish. It's balsamic, with notes of camphor and a silky and velvety texture. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021.

The aromas of iodine and blackcurrants with roses and lavender make the wine extremely perfumed. It’s full-bodied with a tight, fine-tannined palate that shows linear flow through the center palate. It’s vertical and integrated, adding depth and serious quality to the wine.
