The 2011 Almaviva is a legendary Bordeaux-style blend crafted from a collaboration between France's Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chile's Viña Concha y Toro. Known as one of the premier "First Growths" of Chile.
Grape Blend: Typically a signature Bordeaux blend featuring Cabernet Sauvignon (~67%), Carmenère (~25%), Cabernet Franc (~5%), and Petit Verdot/Merlot (~3%).
Tasting Notes: Rich, dark ruby in color. Offers a nuanced and complex nose of cassis, black cherries, and licorice, layered with sweet spices, tobacco, and cocoa powder. The palate is silky and medium-to-full-bodied with polished, refined tannins and an elegant, long-lasting finish.
Aging: Aged for 17 to 18 months in new French oak barrels, which adds a creamy, toasty richness
