Almaviva Proprietary Red Puente Alto 2019

Better be sitting when you taste this!! Collectors, those in the know on this wine, it’s another breathtaking Almaviva from Rothschild/Concha y Toro. VERY limited – just a few wooden cases to be had today…first come, first served…!

This wine is almost always captivating, but the 2019 is next-level. The pure black currant flavors are striking, with so much power and length.

In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, and Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, Chairman of Vina Concha y Toro S.A., sealed a partnership agreement with a view to create an exceptional Franco-Chilean wine called Almaviva. The crux of Almaviva’s success is the combination of their treasures: Chile offers its soil, its climate, and its vineyard, while France brings its winegrowing traditions and expertise. However, native Frenchman, Friou, who joined Almaviva in 2007 as chief winemaker, recognizes another essential piece to this puzzle: local knowledge. Having already worked in Chile for more than a decade, at Escudo Rojo and Casa Lapostolle, and Chateau Margaux (among others in France) before taking over at Almaviva, he’s had time to cultivate a local understanding.
