2020 EPU, Rothschild/Concha y Toro, Puente Alto

2020 EPU, Rothschild/Concha y Toro, Puente Alto

The second wine from Almaviva is fantastic in 2020. Made from the younger vines in the renowned terroir of Puente Alto, it's picked a little earlier to preserve freshness, and is full of ripe red berry fruit, cassis and a creamy texture from maturation in oak barrels. This is approachable, soft, fresh and bright, with lovely balance and some dusty tannins.

Tasting notes

Lots of finely roasted sweet spice and roasted sesame to the blackberries, cassis and iron, together with hints of blue fruit and cured meat. A medium-to full-bodied palate, filled with rather generous sweet berries. Fleshy, supple and savory with quite fine-grained tannins and a long finish. First year with 10% new wood. 81% cabernet sauvignon, 12% carmenere, 5% merlot and 2% cabernet franc. Already delicious, but can hold, too.
