Almaviva 2022

Iconic. Profound. A Chilean Grand Cru.
Almaviva is no ordinary wine. It represents the meeting of two great winemaking worlds — Bordeaux expertise from Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chilean heritage through Concha y Toro. Since its first release in 1998, Almaviva has stood as one of Chile’s most celebrated and collectible wines.

The 2022 vintage is a striking example of why this partnership matters. With one of the driest growing seasons on record, the vines produced smaller berries packed with flavour, intensity, and natural concentration. The gravelly soils of Puente Alto once again proved their worth, delivering elegance alongside richness. The result is a wine of profound character: bold yet polished, with a structure designed to evolve gracefully over decades.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Almaviva 2022 offers a chance to experience Chile at its very highest level — a wine that can be enjoyed now for its youthful vibrancy, but which will only grow more complex and rewarding with time. It’s a bottle to open on a milestone occasion, or to treasure in the cellar as a future centrepiece.

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.
