Almaviva Red Wine Puente Alto | 2021 | 750ml

About This Wine

Almaviva is a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild, owner of Château Mouton Rothschild, and Chile's Viña Concha y Toro. The first vintage was 1996, and the aim from the start was a Chilean wine made on the model of a Bordeaux grand cru classé.

The vineyard lies in Puente Alto, in the upper Maipo Valley close to the Andes, on stony soils with hot days and cool nights. The wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with Carménère, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and the proportions change each vintage. It is aged in French oak, most of it new. Michel Friou is the winemaker.
