Description

Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and fresh flowers. Very cool and pure. Medium-bodied with fine, linear and very integrated tannins that are compressed and silky-textured. New second wine of Almaviva. Needs time to open. Try after 2024. In terms of freshness, the wine is quite similar to the 2018 that I tasted next to it, obviously a little younger, quite intense and fruit-driven, spicy and herbal, with a creamy texture and fine-grained tannins. It's a second wine, but they also want to do something different and Epu is perhaps a little more classical, perhaps this is more Bordeaux and Almaviva is more Chilean. 70,000 bottles produced.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Brilliant, attractive ruby-red. Deep colour with density.

NOSE:
Ripe dark fruits (blackberry, cassis, blueberry), hints of cherry and fig; spice elements (vanilla, possibly cocoa, sweet tobacco); touches of earthiness, herbal / leafy notes, maybe a little leather or dried herbs. Some oak-derived fragrances like subtle vanilla, sweet spice.

TASTE:
Full-bodied, rich and concentrated. Fruit-forward with blackberry/cassis, with some red fruit touches; fine tannins, silky but with structure; a bit of herbal or menthol edge; a good freshness despite a warm vintage; sweetness of oak spice interacts with the fruit. Slightly elevated alcohol perceptible in finish.

FINISH:
Long, persistent. Good balance of fruit, oak spice, tannin. The finish may show herbal or savoury notes (leather, earth) and hints of cocoa or chocolate.

Food Pairing

Given its power, fruit, oak, and structure, Almaviva EPU 2022 pairs best with rich, flavorful dishes. Some suggestions:

Grilled or roasted red meats — beef tenderloin, ribeye, lamb chops.

Game meats — venison, duck breast, pheasant.

Slow-cooked or braised dishes — beef short rib, oxtail, lamb shanks with herbs.

Strong cheeses — aged Manchego, cheddar, Comté, or hard cheeses with depth.

Rich sauces — peppercorn, red wine reduction, mushroom sauces.
