Almaviva Puente Alto 2000, 0.75l, is a red wine that interprets a mature chapter in the Bordeaux tradition in the unique setting of the Maipo Valley, near Puente Alto, where the appellation expresses a constant and austere geography. The bottle reflects a vintage that required patience and sensitivity in managing the grapes, a process that reveals a depth of expression difficult to achieve in young wines. The winery, Almaviva, was born from the encounter between the vision of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and the long experience of Concha y Toro, a project launched in the 1990s to offer wines that reflect both the precision of Bordeaux and the vitality of the Chilean terroir. Over time, the winery has become a benchmark for those seeking controlled complexity and longevity, maintaining a strong group identity and meticulous attention to the production chain. The production philosophy emphasizes careful vineyard management, moderate yields, and rigorous grape selection, driven by a vinification process that balances freshness and maturity. Aging takes place partly in barriques and large barrels, with periods that consolidate structure and complexity without obscuring the purity of the fruit. What distinguishes Almaviva Puente Alto 2000 is the synergy between density and texture: the use of Cabernet Sauvignon as a guideline, accompanied by components that recall Carménère and other traditional varieties of the area, creates a classic yet unconventional aromatic profile, with an elegant tannic texture, a subtle minerality and a touch of cocoa and graphite that lengthens the finish. Upon opening, an intense ruby ​​color with garnet highlights signals a mature wine: the bouquet offers notes of ripe black fruits, cassis, and plums, accompanied by sweet spices, finely toasted tobacco, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, it reveals a well-balanced structure, silky tannins, controlled acidity, and a long finish that leaves impressions of polished wood and black pepper. Within the Almaviva range, the Puente Alto 2000 represents a heralded pinnacle of the house, a mature version that invites ageing, but is already capable of offering depth in today's tastings, adapting to complex culinary preparations and moments of wine-related contemplation. In the context of the STELT proposal, Almaviva Puente Alto 2000 can be considered a story of terroir and style that invites thoughtful consumption, offering a high-end experience capable of accompanying a dedicated table and the time of tasting, without rushing.
