Almaviva

What Almaviva does

Almaviva is a premium Franco-Chilean winery established in 1997 as a 50/50 joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A. (France) and Viña Concha y Toro S.A. (Chile). The winery operates from Puente Alto in Chile's Maipo Valley on 65 hectares of dedicated vineyards, with the oldest vines planted in 1978. Almaviva was the first wine in Chile created under the French Château concept, in which a single technical team, a single bodega, and dedicated vineyards are committed exclusively to one flagship wine of the highest quality. The bodega, designed by Chilean architect Martín Hurtado, was inaugurated in 2000 and features gravity-flow winemaking, undulating roof lines inspired by the Andes, and a label incorporating Beaumarchais's signature.

The company's core product is the Almaviva Bordeaux-style blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Carménère, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, aged 16–20 months in new French oak barrels. A second wine, EPU, complements the portfolio and is included in tasting programs. The brand targets discerning wine connoisseurs, fine-wine collectors, and international premium-wine consumers, with the Château positioning and Rothschild heritage driving its prestige-led value proposition.

Almaviva generates revenue through two channels. First, global wholesale distribution of Almaviva and EPU via Bordeaux Négociants, the historic French wine trade that places fine wines into established international channels. Second, a direct-to-consumer wine tourism program at the Puente Alto winery, offering three tiered tasting experiences — Almaviva Experience (CLP 115,000 / ~USD 120 per person), Almaviva Premium (CLP 175,000 / ~USD 183), and Almaviva Vertical (CLP 255,000 / ~USD 266). The combination of distribution-partner scale and on-site luxury tourism anchors the company's revenue model in ultra-premium positioning rather than volume.

Direct peers

• Opus One: Opus One is the sister icon wine to Almaviva, also a joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild (the same French partner) and Robert Mondavi. Both projects pioneered the Franco-American/Franco-Chilean premium model and compete in the same global fine-wine icon category.
• Seña: Seña is a Chilean icon wine founded by Eduardo Chadwick and historically partnered with Mondavi/Rothschild talent. It sits in the same ultra-premium Chilean icon-wine category as Almaviva and competes for global fine-wine critic scores and collector demand.
• Catena Zapata: Catena Zapata is Argentina's leading icon-wine producer (Adrianna Vineyard, Malbec Argentino). It is comparable to Almaviva as a South American family-controlled estate focused on terroir-driven ultra-premium wines with global distribution.
• Don Melchor: Don Melchor is Concha y Toro's flagship icon Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alto Maipo/Puente Alto terroir — the same sub-region as Almaviva. It is a direct comparable in the premium Chilean Cabernet icon category and shares the parent company's distribution.

Regional players

• Bodega Trapiche: Trapiche is a major Argentine fine-wine producer with premium tier offerings. While it does not compete head-to-head with Almaviva in Chile, it is a comparable South American export-focused premium wine brand.
