Almaviva 2021

Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures. Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions. The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine.

Almaviva 2021 captivates with its deep ruby red brilliance and fresh, elegant, complex nose. An alliance of ripe fruit and subtle floral aromas dominates initially, before leaving place to fine notes of violet, liquorice, ink and graphite.

The juicy attack of ripe fruit such as raspberry and blackcurrant is well balanced by a delicate structure and a fine texture of smooth and polished tannins, well coated with flavours of vanilla and cocoa. Almaviva 2021 is an exquisite combination of freshness, elegance and balance, a faithful expression of an exceptional vintage.

The 2021 Almaviva leads with a lively bouquet centered around black fruits, sweet tobacco, fresh herbs and well-integrated, high-quality oak. The palate is precise and coiled, finishing with a delicious combination of expansive, juicy sweetness framed by structured, finessed tannins that gradually gain grip with aeration. The seductive style at Almaviva dovetails very nicely with the effortlessness of this vintage, offering a darker, more open-knit drinking experience than the comparatively buttoned-up, red-fruited 2022.
