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.
