Viña Almaviva Puente Alto(2004)

The hot, dry conditions from November to March gave small and concentrated berries.  Two short rains at the end of March and the middle of April accelerated the ripening by rinsing the leaves in the vineyard and re-activating the vine’s photosynthesis, allowing for optimum ripeness. The grapes were picked on fifteen days over a twenty-five day period, from April 20 to May 14.  Very low yields gave grapes with supple, round tannins and precise fruit flavors.

Tasting Notes
