Polkura
Marchigüe Syrah 2017
A nose of blackberry hand pie -
Dark berry, slate, saline, cherry stone, underlined coffee tones, tamarindo, swisher sweet tabaco, and crazy sour patch kid acidity,
Such a crazy wine - so good!
Polkura is the Mapuche peoples name for yellow slate - which is prevalent here. — 4 years ago
Deumayen
Petit Trez Malbec 2011
Espetacular vinho com bom custo-benefício.
Deumayen significa, no idioma Mapuche, "realizar algo com muito empenho".
Cor vermelha profunda com intenso aroma de ameixa e notas de pimenta negra, baunilha e toques tostados; paladar suave e equilibrado e um agradável final.
Combina a intensidade frutal de Mendoza com a complexidade do envelhecimento em carvalho francês. — 8 years ago

Almaviva (EPU) – Blend – 2022
Puente Alto – Chile 🇨🇱
Overview
The second wine from the Franco-Chilean partnership at Almaviva. The 2022 EPU is cabernet-dominated yet crafted for approachability. The blend reads approx. 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Carménère, 3% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. 
It delivers a more accessible expression compared to the flagship Almaviva, with plenty of power and Chilean terroir signature.
Aromas & Flavors
Cassis and blackberry liqueur wrapped with violets, graphite, cedar spice and a touch of mocha. The ripeness stands out, yet the freshness and terroir voice anchor it.
Mouthfeel
Deep and plush, yet polished. Velvety tannins and a full core of dark fruit make it substantial , but it remains more approachable than the top-tier bottling. Strong finish with good momentum.
Food Pairings
Grilled ribeye, aged lamb chops, porcini risotto with truffle, or char-grilled vegetables with smoked paprika.
Verdict
An expressive, polished, and beautifully balanced blend. While it leans toward powerhouse, the finesse, lift and Chilean elegance make it stand out. A top pick in its category.
