Description

The intensity and structure of a truly unique Chilean wine

A true masterpiece of the Viña Almaviva estate, situated in the Maipo Valley of Chile, the Almaviva 2017 showcases a happy marriage between traditional Bordeaux winemaking savoir-faire and the exceptional New World terroirs of Chile.

The 2017 vintage was characterized by particularly hot and dry weather conditions, resulting in significantly lower yields and an early harvest (three weeks ahead of schedule). Nevertheless, the winemaking team applied all of their skill to the creation of this vintage, and the result was magnificent: a vintage that truly captures the essence of the Puente Alto terroir, in the Central Valley wine region.

Produced in the style of a Left Bank Bordeaux blend, the Almaviva 2017 by Viña Almaviva consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. The wine was aged in new French oak barrels for a period of 19 months.

The Almaviva 2017 shows off a very intense ruby red color in the glass. Its nose reveals layered and powerful aromas of ripe black fruit (cassis and blackberries), harmoniously intertwined with mineral touches, vanilla, coffee, black pepper and more earthy notes. This wine fills the mouth fully. Its ripe and elegant tannins coat the palate, appearing exceptionally balanced and lingering long after the finish. The Almaviva 2017 was the product of a hot and dry vintage, but is nevertheless endowed with a beautifully balanced acidity and a power that will guarantee a significant potential for age.
