Created in 1997 as an iconic joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild (of Château Mouton Rothschild) and Viña Concha y Toro, Almaviva was established to blend French winemaking tradition with Chile’s exceptional terroir. The estate's 85-hectare vineyard in Puente Alto sits on stony, gravelly alluvial soils at the foot of the Andes Mountains, where cool mountain breezes moderate warm days. Operating with the exact precision of a Bordeaux First Growth, the winemaking philosophy focuses on meticulous parcel-by-parcel selection, gravity-fed processing, and balancing Andean fruit power with classical French elegance and structural freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis red wine presents a deep, opaque ruby-purple appearance in the glass with vibrant violet reflections at the rim.
