Winemaker Notes

Albis is an elegant and captivating blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère. Albis is the first wine produced by the Antinori family in Chile and its name celebrates the dawn of a new day in viticulture. It represents the unification of two hemispheres, the Old and New Worlds, with the specific aim of crafting a great wine in the heart of the Maipo Valley. It is a rich, well-balanced organic wine with a long persistent finish.

This wine is ideal with slow-cooked lamb and beef, hearty pasta dishes or aged cheeses.

Albis expresses on the nose the typical aromas of the Maipo Andes Valley with its pleasurable notes of spice and graphite. The palate is supple and elegant with excellent length and persistence and a long and continuous finish and aftertaste. It is a wine capable of giving its best in the years to come as well.

James Suckling 94

Deep yet attractive nose with lots of tapenade, spiced blackberries and blackcurrants. Some mint leaf, dark chocolate and currant leaves, too. The full-bodied palate is loaded with chocolaty tannins, which are super tight but fine-grained. Very youthful, vertical and impressively structured. Lots of muscle and length. It will need at least two to three years to soften and open up more. There is potential. From organically grown grapes. Wait until 2026.
