The Almaviva 2011 is a blend primarily comprising Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, complemented by smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Exhibiting characteristic freshness, the wine offers a nuanced profile with notes of cassis, ripe black fruit, and subtle herbal undertones. Elements of sweet spices, liquorice, and a faint earthiness contribute to its complexity. Hailing from the joint venture of Château Mouton Rothschild and Concha y Toro, Almaviva reflects a harmonious blend of French winemaking tradition and Chilean terroir, emphasising the region`s unique expression.
