Epu by Almaviva
At the Andean foothills of Chile, Puente Alto lends a cool, gravelly edge to a wine with a clear purpose: EPU by Almaviva translates Maipo terroir through the lens of a great Bordeaux-style second wine.
The story starts with the 1997 alliance between Viña Concha y Toro and Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Cabernet Sauvignon leads on alluvial soils, supported—vintage by vintage—by Carmenère, Merlot or Cabernet Franc. Meticulous selection, polished extraction and measured French-oak élevage shape a supple frame while keeping the site’s freshness, definition and line intact.
Even the name is rooted in place: “Epu” means “two” in the Mapuche language. It is the estate’s second voice—more immediately open, yet still built around balance, texture and an unmistakable sense of Puente Alto.Epu by Almaviva
