A partnership between Bordeaux's Château Mouton Rothschild and Chile's Concha y Toro, Almaviva is one of Chile's icon wines. Made from cabernet sauvignon planted in stony soils in Puente Alto, with carmenère and cabernet franc playing a supporting role, it's a complex wine packed with cassis, eucalyptus and savoury flavours. Enjoy it with beef Bourguignon.

Almaviva

Created in 1997 as a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha y Toro, Almaviva was conceived to transport the Bordeaux First Growth model into Puente Alto's exceptional terroir. The estate works primarily with cabernet sauvignon, supported by carménère, cabernet franc, and petit verdot from alluvial, gravel‑rich soils at the foot of the Andes.

Precision viticulture includes massal‑selection vines, deficit irrigation, and parcel‑by‑parcel canopy management. The winemaking philosophy focuses on preserving Puente Alto's hallmark graphite tannins, linear acidity, and aromatic purity while delivering Pauillac‑like structure. Almaviva's commitment to micro‑parceling, meticulous berry selection and long ageing results in some of Chile's most age‑worthy, polished wines, combining Chilean fruit generosity with old world refinement.

Tasting
NOTES

The nose of this Chilean vabernet kicks off with intense aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry jam and eucalyptus, which mingle with sweet tobacco, leather, warm baking spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and rich with a jammy fruit profile and an earthy mushroom and balsamic undertone. The tannins are firm but fine-grained and the finish is long. A Maipo icon with great ageing potential showcasing depth, power, grit and elegance.

Food
PAIRINGS

This complex cabernet can stand up to hearty dishes. Try it with beef bourguignon, lamb chops with garlic and rosemary, or a venison fillet with truffle mash and cranberry sauce.
