Notas de Prova: Apresenta uma cor rubi carregada e muito concentrada no centro, com uma auréola de tonalidade violeta, o nariz revela sugestivas notas de fruta vermelha e preta bem maduras, nomeadamente morangos e cerejas, misturadas com subtis mas elegantes apontamentos especiados e achocolatados, num fundo delicadamente mineral e a fazer lembrar tabaco, na boca é um vinho complexo e encorpado, com um volume assinalável e taninos redondos, no paladar volta a sobressair a fruta negra, bem como algum cacau e notas de pimenta preta, além de breves nuances de barrica bem integrados no conjunto, o final de boca termina de uma forma bem prolongada e persistente.

Rótulo: Amalia Grand Cru is the maximum expression of Viña Los Boldos magnincent terror. This blend, only released in outstanding vintages, is produced with a careful selection of only the best hand harvested grapes, sourced from the peak performing varieties grown at our meticulously curated vineyard, located in the heart of the Cachapoal Valley, at the foot of the Andes Mountains. The vineyard's alluvial soils, derived from the ancient Cachapoal River bed are composed primarily of gravel and large rocks, are deep and very well drained, allowing a deep rooting of the vines that provide a great consistency, year after year. The 2018 vintage delivered wines of great elegance and complexity, that impart a long aging potential with very good evolution in bottle for many years. Amalia Grand Cru 2018 was aged for 16 months in 225 liter French oak barrels and larger foudres, followed by a further 24 months in bottle before being released. In order to preserve its highest quality, this wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined, thus with time it can throw a sediment. We recommend decanting before service between 14 - 16°C. A tribute to Doña María Amalia Lobo de Vasconola for her dedication, and unconditional love for her.
