About this product
Iconic. Profound. A Chilean Grand Cru.
The 2022 vintage of Almaviva stands as a symbol of cross-continental excellence — a collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Bordeaux and Viña Concha y Toro of Chile. Born from the exceptional terroir of Puente Alto in the Maipo Valley, Almaviva is a wine of remarkable pedigree, crafted to rival the greatest names of the Old World while expressing the soul of the New. For collectors and fine wine lovers in Ireland, this is not just a bottle — it’s an invitation into an exclusive world of prestige and refinement.
The warm yet balanced 2022 vintage allowed for grapes of perfect ripeness and concentration, producing a wine of exceptional depth and complexity. Each sip reveals meticulous craftsmanship, from hand-harvested fruit to gentle barrel ageing in fine French oak, ensuring a seamless integration of power and elegance.
Why we love it:
Almaviva 2022 is a masterclass in harmony. The opulence of ripe black fruit is lifted by delicate floral notes, with layers of cocoa, cedar, and spice emerging as the wine unfolds in the glass. The tannins are fine-grained yet assertive, promising both immediate pleasure and decades of graceful ageing. In Ireland, where discerning palates seek out the truly special, Almaviva holds an undeniable place among the most sought-after luxury wines.
