{"title":"Viña Almaviva S.A.","description":"\u003cp\u003eViña Almaviva is a Chilean wine producer based in the Maipo Valley, formed through a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A. of Bordeaux and Concha y Toro, one of Chile's largest wine companies. The estate focuses on producing red wine from its vineyards in the Puente Alto subzone of Maipo, an area situated at the foot of the Andes where alluvial soils and a significant diurnal temperature range contribute to structured, age-worthy reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maipo Valley has long been associated with Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, and Almaviva works within that tradition while incorporating other Bordeaux varieties alongside Carmenère, a grape that found a second home in Chile after nearly disappearing from France. The combination of Andean influence, well-drained gravelly soils, and a dry Mediterranean-style climate allows for consistent phenolic ripeness while retaining acidity and freshness in the finished wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPU is Almaviva's second wine, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenère, and Merlot. It draws from the same estate fruit as the flagship Almaviva bottling and follows a similar Bordeaux-influenced winemaking approach, offering a more accessible entry point into the producer's style while reflecting the character of the Puente Alto terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"almaviva","title":"Almaviva - Vina Almaviva","description":"\u003cp\u003e2020 was exceptionally dry, with 75% less rain than usual in the period between May and September, which resulted in an earlier harvest to produce a 2020 Almaviva with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenere (from Peumo), 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, so with no Merlot this time.  The process was as careful as possible, without using any pumps, doing manual and optical sorting of the grapes, pressing in small vertical presses and ageing for 20 months in French oak barrels, 73% of them new and the rest second use.  The wine reached good ripeness with 14.9% alcohol. It still shows the effect of the élevage a bit, with abundant notes of sweet spices, a creamy touch and some smoke. I tasted it next to the 2019, and the wines have a very similar aromatic palette with a clear note of baked peppers.   What was amazing in 2020 was that they harvested the Carmenere almost five weeks earlier than they normally would, and the result was not a green wine at all. As in all dry years, the wines show a little more tannic, a little in the style of the 2017—but the 2020 has more tension than the 2017, and the 2017 was more powerful and with a bigger tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viña Almaviva S.A.","offers":[{"title":"2023 \/ 75cl","offer_id":57648571548028,"sku":"Almaviva - 2023 - 75cl","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022 \/ 75cl","offer_id":54960991535484,"sku":"Almaviva - 2022 - 75cl","price":255.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2020 \/ 75cl","offer_id":47876260954436,"sku":"Almaviva - 2020 - 75cl","price":238.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2019 \/ 75cl","offer_id":48136684470596,"sku":"Almaviva - 2019 - 75cl","price":270.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2017 \/ 75cl","offer_id":47876254957892,"sku":"Almaviva - 2017 - 75cl","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2015 \/ 75cl","offer_id":47876254892356,"sku":"Almaviva - 2015 - 75cl","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2014 \/ 75cl","offer_id":47876254859588,"sku":"Almaviva - 2014 - 75cl","price":190.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6758\/files\/buy-almaviva-from-almaviva-winery-125364_fd489244-3947-407e-99a6-09d8490b2f53_cb7beb77-7de6-4e2f-814b-485bde7dadd8_c1e99f97-ad04-491a-a469-47c02642b49a.jpg?v=1791807405"}],"url":"https:\/\/onshorecellars.com\/en-de\/collections\/producer-vina-almaviva-s-a.oembed","provider":"Onshore Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
