Almaviva是兩個傳統葡萄酒家族的結晶，一方是法國武當和Lafite的家族Baron Philippe de Rothschild，另一方是智利知名酒莊Concha y Toro。Almaviva是經典的波爾多混釀（以Cabernet Sauvignon占主導地位），代表了兩種文化相遇的結果。
智利提供了土壤、氣候和葡萄園，而法國則貢獻了頂尖的釀酒技藝和傳統，兩地文化的結合令Almaviva成為一款異常優雅和複雜的葡萄酒。它的推出不只在智利本土，甚至亦是國際酒壇的重要里程碑。

品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 96+ points)
2021 年整體比 2020 年涼爽，葡萄酒更加優雅、細膩，單寧棱角更少…黑果的味道成熟而帶有香料味，沒有半點青澀。它有點害羞，比溫暖的年份含蓄，但絕對有潛力在瓶中發展。單寧猶在，如果再在瓶中存放一段時間應該會更為醇厚。與2020年份和2018年份一同品飲，2021年較接近後者，但更為優雅，相比之下2018年更加樸素和富草本特色。(Luis Gutiérrez)

清新而低調的Almaviva帶有淡淡的鉛筆屑、雪茄盒和黑加侖子味，還有一絲辣椒朱古力和薄荷的味道。香氣細緻入微，酒體中等，口感微妙，單寧絲滑，餘韻連綿不斷。現在可以飲用，但給它多些時間會帶來複雜的層次。
Two traditional wine families, Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha y Toro, sealed a profound alliance to create Almaviva, and exclusive Franco-Chilean wine.
Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures.
Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions. The result is an exceptionally elegant and complex wine. Its launch was a major milestone in the development of Chilean wines, both in Chile itself and in the international market.

Tasting Notes:

2021 was an overall cooler year than 2020, with more elegant wines with more finesse and less angular tannins...The fruit is dark, ripe and spicy, nothing green about it; it's a little shy, less expressive than the warmer years are early on and a little more discreet but with potential to develop in bottle. The tannins are still present, and it should benefit from some more time in bottle. I tasted it next to the 2020 and 2018, and it's closer to the latter; but this 2021 is more elegant, and 2018 is a little more austere and herbal. (by Luis Gutiérrez)

A fresh and discreet Almaviva with subtle pencil shavings and cigar box to the cassis and hints of chili chocolate and peppermint. Nuanced and subtle on the nose. This is medium-bodied and subtle on the palate with silky tannins in the seamless finish. Very long. Drinkable now, but it will take its time to deliver complexity.
