Almaviva is a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux and Chilean wine producer Concha y Toro. This is one of Chile's most prestigious wines. Its first vintage was in 1996, and it has since garnered many high ratings among critics. More recently its credentials as a fine wine have been further enhanced as its ability to mature for two decades or more has been proven.
The wine is benchmarked by its producers against the great Cabernet-based wines of the Médoc and Napa Valley. In this respect the presence of Carmenère provides a differentiating factor.
Almaviva will typically feature 65 to 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 to 25 percent Carmenère, and 5 to 10 percent Cabernet Franc.
“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'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.” [Robert Parker 95+]
