The refined 2021 Almaviva is a good example, still very young and marked by oak after 20 months in French oak barrels, 71% new and the rest second-use. The final blend was 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere (from Peumo), 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, a variety that may gain a larger share in future, as they have planted more of it to possibly replace Merlot in the medium or long term. It's not a shy wine, reaching 15% alcohol, with soft acidity (4.65 grams of tartaric acid) and a pH of 3.81. The fruit is dark, ripe and spicy, with no green traces; it's a little withdrawn, less expressive than the warmer years at first, but with potential to evolve in bottle. The tannins are still present, and it should benefit from more time in bottle. The 2019 had more volume than the 2018, and the 2020 is closer to the 2019 than to the 2018. 200,000 bottles were produced, bottled between late January and early February 2023.
