樂活酒窖 La Vie Wine

Almaviva是由智利葡萄酒巨人Vina Concha y Toro與波爾多一級酒莊(慕銅堡) 攜手合作的佳釀。 

取名源自於法國劇作家Beaumarchais的經典文學「費加洛婚禮」中英雄的名字，酒標象徵著智利當地原住民馬普切人，對於古代宇宙觀與大地的圖騰，因此擁有了歷史經典之酒名及酒標。

自推出第一個年份1996以來，便馬上受到市場熱烈的回應，每一個年份都在國際間獲得極高評價，酒款風格極其濃郁厚實，層次與平衡感的完美結合。

從報告中看來，是一個令人充滿期待的年份：

The 2016 growing season began with a very dry winter, consisting only of 193 mm of rainfall from May to September 2015. June was completely dry, followed by significant rain, 119mm in August alone. The following spring presented colder and

rainier conditions than usual, especially from mid-September to mid-November, which generated less bunches and some “coulure” on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère vines. Summer was particularly hot and dry, specifically in December and February. Temperatures sharply decreased in March, while April encountered unusually heavy rain on April 16-17 and 23-24, summing 109 mm in the Puente Alto vineyards. Although the growing cycle was rather delayed with most of the phenological stages occurring later than usual, these atypical climatic conditions obliged us to anticipate and accelerate the harvest, which initially started slowly on March 29th, first with the Merlot, and finally ended in a faster pace on May 6th, which was two weeks earlier than usual. The speed and precision of our harvesting teams to pick healthy Cabernets and Carmenère grapes after the rains, along with the optical selection and strict, careful monitoring of the vinifications in the winery allowed us to produce very promising, elegant and accessible wines, rich in fruit, freshness and character, in line with our great terroir of Puente Alto.

	酒款介紹	〝A very fine and elegant Almaviva with fresh fruit and herb character. Medium-to-full body, tight and focused with very linear tannins and a chocolate and light cedar undertone to the whole thing. Savory, too. Smoked meat and succulent. It's tight but opens with air.〞--- James Suckling 97 points.
