Patricio Tapia - Descorchados

A charming nose on this Epu from a season that was rather warm in Puente Alto, in Alto Maipo. It smells of ripe red and candied black fruits and sweet spices. The palate is ripe, with very polished and elegant tannins, very much in the style of this house. It’s friendly and well-balanced with succulent fruit flavors and enveloping warmth. This year, the blend is 84% cabernet sauvignon, 13% carmenere, 2% merlot, and the rest is cabernet franc. It was aged for a year in second-use barrels. Epu is the second wine of the house and corresponds to more or less 20% of the production of Almaviva’s 79 hectares—65 in Puente Alto and 14 in Peumo.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The first truly international release of the second wine is going to be the 2019 Epu, which has changed image and label, looking a little more like Almaviva, and is going to be sold through the Bordeaux négoce. 2019 was a very dry vintage, and the blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Carmenere, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc with slightly higher alcohol than 2018 and with lower acidity, matured in used barriques for one year. In terms of freshness, the wine is quite similar to the 2018 that I tasted next to it, obviously a little younger, quite intense and fruit-driven, spicy and herbal, with a creamy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's a second wine, but they also want to do something different and Epu is perhaps a little more classical, perhaps this is more Bordeaux and Almaviva is more Chilean. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020 and January 2021.

James Suckling

Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and fresh flowers. Very cool and pure. Medium-bodied with fine, linear and very integrated tannins that are compressed and silky-textured. New second wine of Almaviva. Needs time to open. Try after 2024.

In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, and Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, Chairman of Viña Concha y Toro S.A., sealed a partnership agreement with a view to create an exceptional Franco-Chilean wine called Almaviva.

Produced under the joint technical supervision of both partners, the first vintage achieved immediate international success upon its launch in 1998.

The name Almaviva, though it has an Hispanic sonority, belongs to classical French literature: Count Almaviva is the hero of The Marriage of Figaro, the famous play by Beaumarchais (1732-1799), later turned into an opera by the genius of Mozart.

The label, meanwhile, pays homage to Chile’s ancestral history, with three reproductions of a stylized design, which symbolizes the vision of the earth and the cosmos in the Mapuche civilization. The design appears on the kultrun, a ritual drum used by the Mapuche.

The label bears the name Almaviva in Beaumarchais’ own handwriting. Two great traditions thus join hands to offer the whole world a promise of pleasure and excellence.

The Château concept was introduced in the XIX century in France as a way to honor creative mastery of winegrowers from Bordeaux.

Almaviva was the first wine in Chile created under this French Château concept, taking into account exceptional terroir, one unique bodega and one technical team – the three of which are dedicated exclusively to the production of one wine of unparalleled quality and excellence.

Château-konceptet introducerades på 1800-talet i Frankrike som ett sätt att hedra kreativt kunnande av vinodlare från Bordeaux. Almaviva var det första vinet i Chile som skapades under detta franska Château-koncept, med hänsyn till exceptionell terroir, en unik bodega och ett tekniskt team – varav tre är dedikerade uteslutande till produktionen av ett vin av oöverträffad kvalitet och excellens. Ursprung År 1997 signerade Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, ordförande i Advisory Board för Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA,...

The best of two cultures


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. Its launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.
