Almaviva亞瑪維瓦(25周年紀念標) 智利
特色

Almaviva是由Concha y Toro與法國波爾多Baron Philippe de Rothschild (一級酒莊Mouton Rothschild的業主)跨國合作之產品,可以說是波爾多先進的釀造技術與智利優異風土條件的結晶。使用波爾多紅品種混合,釀製出耐人尋味的雋永美味紅酒。酒名取自法國劇作家包瑪榭(Beaumarchais)的喜劇「費加洛婚禮」中的人物 - 阿瑪維瓦伯爵(Count of Almaviva),也就是後來莫札特改編成著名歌劇的原始素材。Almaviva 的西班牙文原意是「活力的靈魂」,酒標上的圖騰則代表著古代智利人對宇宙與大地的看法。

Almaviva 的葡萄來自智利最好的Maipo產區的精華區Puente Alto,這裡的風土條件非常適合 Cabernet Sauvignon、Carmenère與Cabernet Franc 等波爾多品種的生長。1996是第一個問市的年份,短短十多年內已建立起世界性的聲譽,不僅成為智利最好的紅酒之一,也被視為世界級的頂尖美酒。事實上,隨著近年波爾多頂級酒的強勁漲勢,有部分法國波爾多血統的Almaviva紅酒連帶也行情看漲,又加上國際酒評家都給予最近幾個年份相當高的評價,所以它在全世界的葡萄市場上是供不應求的!


為慶祝酒廠成立 25 週年,2020 年份酒特別以周年紀念標呈現。

2020 was exceptionally dry, with 75% less rain than usual in the period between May and September, which resulted in an earlier harvest to produce a 2020 Almaviva with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Carmenère (from Peumo), 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, so with no Merlot this time. The process was as careful as possible, without using any bombs, doing manual and optical sorting of the grapes, pressing in small vertical presses and aging of 20 months in French oak barrels, 73% of them new and the rest second use. The wine reached good ripeness with 14.9% alcohol. It still shows the effect of the élevage a bit, with abundant notes of sweet spices, a creamy touch and some smoke. I tasted it next to the 2019, and the wines have a very similar aromatic palette with a clear note of baked peppers. What was amazing in 2020 was that they harvested the Carmenere almost five weeks earlier than they normally would, and the result is not a green wine at all. As in all dry years, the wines show a little more tannic, a little in the style of the 2017—but the 2020 has more tension than the 2017, and the 2017 was more powerful and with a bigger tannic structure. The 2019 had more volume than the 2018, and the 2020 is closer to the 2019 than the 2018. 200,000 bottles produced. It was bottled during the second half of February 2022.
