Almaviva 2001 is a notable expression of the synergy between Chilean terroir and French winemaking expertise. This vintage predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the influence of small, concentrated berries from an exceptional year. The palate reveals layers of dark chocolate and olive paste, with a dense mid-palate that transitions into soft hazelnut and subtle autumnal fruit nuances. Almaviva is a joint venture between Concha y Toro and Château Mouton Rothschild, marking a significant chapter in Chile’s wine evolution.

The 2001 Almaviva remains youthful. Its color is dark ruby/purple and the bouquet features pain grille, violets, leather, coffee, blackberry and black currant. On the palate, the wine is balanced and elegantly styled with excellent depth and concentration. The ripe tannins are well concealed and will support another 3-5 years of cellaring. It should drink well through 2030. There is no doubt that Almaviva merits its status as one of Chile’s icon wines.
Almaviva is a partnership of Bordeaux first-growth Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Concha y Toro. Made in the style of top of the line Pauillac, the blend is typically 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22-23% Carmenere (a very close relative of Merlot), and 4-5% Cabernet Franc. It spends 18 months in new French oak and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
