Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Concha Y Toro
A joint venture between one of Chile’s largest commercial wineries, Concha y Toro, and Bordeaux’s most famous family, Mouton-Rothschild, has led to the super-premium project called Almaviva. Beginning in 1997, the aim of this union was to produce Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines in Chile’s fertile Maipo Valley. More specifically, produce wines that are capable of rivaling Bordeaux’s greatest Grand Cru Classés. This amazing Franco-Chilean wine is now produced by over 85 hectares of vineyards, with 40 hectares of those being Concha y Toro’s best Puente Alto vines. Famed winemaker of Mouton and Opus One, Patrick Leon, also looks over Almaviva’s production, crafting complex, powerful wines that are reminiscent of Bordeaux’s magnificent blends.
