Almaviva 是兩大傳統葡萄酒世家 —— 法國的 Baron Philippe de Rothschild 與智利的 Concha y Toro 的結晶。以經典波爾多葡萄品種釀造，以 Cabernet Sauvignon 為主角，展現了智利風土與法國釀酒工藝的完美邂逅。
EPU 是 Almaviva 的副牌酒，在智利南部原住民 Mapuche 語中解作「二」。葡萄源自同樣卓越的 Puente Alto 葡萄園，承襲 Almaviva 的血統與風格。EPU 產量稀少，卻蘊含與正牌酒相似的優雅與複雜度，同時卻以更親切的姿態展現自我。

(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
2022 年份的 Epu 帶來樸實而濃郁的香氣，以成熟紅果為主軸，伴隨草本與皮革的氣息。口感集中、飽滿、豐厚，逐漸過渡到帶有朱古力韻味的收結，富含厚實單寧，並留下草本與薄荷的悠長尾韻。這款酒在風格與風土之間完美平衡，既令人愉悅又容易親近，是品嘗更精緻細膩的 Almaviva 的絕佳入門。

散發精緻的甜煙草、黑橄欖，以及淡淡的紅椒粉、雪松、鐵質與近似鯷魚的鮮味。入口是甜美莓果，伴隨優雅的鹹感。酒體中等，內斂而柔和，同時豐盈慷慨，單寧細緻，餘韻悠長。
Born from the alliance of two renowned wine families—Baron Philippe de Rothschild of France and Concha y Toro of Chile—Almaviva represents a meeting of cultures and traditions. Crafted from classic Bordeaux varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon at its core, Almaviva combines Chile’s exceptional terroir with France’s winemaking expertise to deliver elegance and complexity. Its creation marked a milestone in the rise of Chilean wines on the global stage.
EPU, Almaviva’s second wine, takes its name from the Mapuche word for “two,” honoring one of southern Chile’s principal indigenous cultures. Produced from the same outstanding Puente Alto vineyards, EPU follows the tradition of second wines from Bordeaux’s most prestigious châteaux. Made in limited quantities, it shares Almaviva’s pedigree and refinement, while expressing its own distinctive personality.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
The 2022 Epu leads with a poised yet charmingly rustic nose of ripe red fruits flanked by herbaceous, leathery accents. The palate is concentrated and full-bodied, with an opulent, forward richness that transitions to a decedent, chocolate-tinged finish of rich tannins and a lingering herbal, menthol-laced conclusion. A well-made balance between style and place, this serves as a pleasurable and accessible introduction to the more poised, nuanced Almaviva.

Refined sweet tobacco, black olives and hints of paprika, cedar, iron and anchovy-like savoriness. Refined sweet berries on the palate with a lovely savoriness. Medium-bodied and restrained, plush and generous, with fine tannins and a lengthy finish.
