Almaviva is one of the few Chilean wines sold in the Bordeaux place by négociants. The winery’s ownership is split 50-50 between the Baron Philippe De Rothschild company and Concha y Toro and produced its first vintage in 1996. Since 2007 the winemaker has been the French perfectionist Michel Friu, whose expertise in high-end wines from Chile was key to the brightness and refreshingly nuanced style of the 2015, 2016 and 2017 vintages. The 2016, a cold year, offers a delightfully lean palate, a benchmark for this classic wine.
