Tasting notes
Composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Carménère and 3% each Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Epu derives from younger vines and deeper soils at the Almaviva estate and matured for 12 months in 10% new French oak. It opens with a classic bouquet of cigar wrapper, anise and spice notes set against a core of black and blue fruits. The palate is rich and seductive, concluding with a luscious, fruit-driven finish enhanced by herbal nuances that linger.

About this wine
Almaviva's second wine, Epu comes from young vines from the Puente Alto terroir and vineyard. It offers a ripe and heady nose, soft acidity and intense notes of red pepper, blackberry, blackcurrant, and spices from the oak. Coming from a cooler than average vintage, this 2021 is remarkable for its balance. Medium to full-bodied with velvety, more polished tannins, it is delicate and less concentrated, with plenty of finesse, making it more approachable when young. This generous wine is a perfect introduction to the exclusive and harmonious world of Almaviva.
