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。

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.

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.
