Viña Almaviva is the prestigious joint venture between France's Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chile's Viña Concha y Toro, standing for uncompromising quality and grand stylistic pedigree.

Situated on the stony, well-drained soils of Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley—where a dry climate of warm days and cool nights endows the grapes with structure, concentration, and pure fruit—the 2023 Almaviva is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Carménère, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep, dense ruby-garnet with an opaque core. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe black berries—above all cassis and blackberries—unfold alongside dark plums and a trace of black cherry. These are complemented by fine spice notes, subtle herbal hints, nuanced cedarwood, tobacco, and dark chocolate, and an elegant mineral freshness that promises depth and tension. With aeration, floral nuances and refined spice emerge, lending multi-layered complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, the 2023 Almaviva is full-bodied and structured, with dense, ripe fruit and fine-grained, polished tannins. Lively acidity imparts freshness and poise, while dark fruit remains at the center, interwoven with savory, lightly earthy, and mineral undertones. Concentrated yet aristocratic, the palate combines a supple texture with commanding presence. The finish is long and persistent, carried by fruit, spice, and understated mineral elegance.

Already displaying remarkable presence, clear structure, and multi-layered aromatics today, the 2023 Almaviva boasts exceptional aging potential and will evolve gracefully over many years, gaining ever greater depth, harmony, and finesse.
