Almaviva EPU 2019

Rothschild & Concha Y Toro

Case Format: 6x75cl

EPU is the second wine of Almaviva. It’s selected from the same terroir and vineyard in Puente Alto, one of the most reputed places for Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile, but from the younger vines (five- to 20-year-old vines) and harvested a little earlier to preserve acidity and fruit. It has a velvety plate with the luxurious texture of the modern Bordeaux, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It’s approachable and round but should reward some time in bottle.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Jane Anson

Second wine of Almaviva, released through the Place for the first time in 2021. There is spiced damson and blackcurrant fruit, dark chocolate shavings and a sweet, ripe feel overall, plenty of glamour and impact, but traces also of a hot, dry season with a touch of heat on the finish. This needs time to open, so although there is no problem with drinking soon, it will really benefit from time in a carafe to soften the tannins.

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.
