Description
Almaviva 2019 is a prestigious Chilean red from Puente Alto, celebrated for combining the elegance of Bordeaux with the richness and sunshine of Maipo Valley. Deep, powerful and impeccably balanced, this vintage stands out for its refined texture, polished tannins and impressive persistence, while 18 months in new French oak add depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes
The wine is deeply coloured, with an intense, opaque ruby-red appearance. Its nose is broad, layered and complex, revealing a refined aromatic profile with generous depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, combining a soft, supple texture with vibrant acidity and remarkable length. The tannins are rounded, polished and highly refined, giving the wine a juicy, approachable character despite its concentration.
With its structure, freshness and finely integrated tannins, the 2019 vintage has excellent cellaring potential. It can be enjoyed now after careful decanting, but should develop further complexity over the coming years in a well-managed cellar.
Production
Produced in Puente Alto in Chile’s Maipo Valley, the wine benefits from a terroir renowned for producing structured, elegant reds. The 2019 vintage was matured for 18 months in new French oak barrels, a process that contributes additional depth, spice and texture while complementing the wine’s fruit, acidity and polished tannins. Specific grape proportions and harvesting details are not provided.
Food & Serving
This powerful yet elegant red is well suited to premium grilled or roasted meats, beef tenderloin, lamb, venison and richly flavoured game dishes. It also pairs beautifully with slow-cooked preparations and mature hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decant for 1–2 hours before serving, particularly when enjoying the wine young, to allow its layered aromas and refined structure to open fully.
