Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with an elegant nose of ripe fruit and subtle florals, followed by notes of violet, licorice and graphite-like minerality. The palate is juicy with raspberry and blackcurrant, framed by smooth polished tannins and hints of vanilla and cocoa, finishing fresh and long.

Food Paring

Match with rosemary-garlic lamb, beef Wellington, or other rich roasted meats that echo its structure and spice. Hard aged cheeses and mushroom dishes also work well with its savory depth.

Professional Reviews

98 James Suckling

"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. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 22% carmenere, 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but it will take its time to deliver complexity."

Region Information

Valle Central is Chile’s most important wine‑producing region, extending across a broad area with varied subregions. Mediterranean climate conditions, cooling influences from the Andes and Pacific Ocean, and fertile valleys make it ideal for a wide range of grape varieties. Valle Central wines are known for ripe fruit character, balance, and consistent quality.

Chile’s unique geography, bordered by mountains, ocean, and desert, helps protect its vineyards from disease. The country produces reliable, high-quality wines with excellent value. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Sauvignon Blanc are key varieties. Chilean winemaking balances consistency, innovation, and strong export markets.
