Alcohol 13.5%
Residual sugar 1.8 g/l
Total acidity 7.6 g/l
pH 3.96

APPEARANCE
Pale, with an “onion cloth” hue and elegant pink reflections.

NOSE
On the nose there are citrusy, tangerine and orange peel notes, which combine with more floral notes…rose and peach blossom and hints of strawberry and watermelon.

PALATE
In the mouth, the work with lees and the contribution of the concrete eggs is most appreciated. This adds volume, creaminess, without losing freshness, acidity and elegance. The acid sensation is pulsating, lively, without feeling harsh.

AGEING
Fermented with its native yeast in concrete eggs, then racked back to tanks, where it remained on its lees until bottling.

PAIRING
Quite versatile, it can pair aperitifs as well as smoked fish, fresh goat cheese salad, vegetable tempura, sushi and cold pastas.

]]> Casas del Bosque Private Reserve La Trampa https://vinumlector.com/our-wine/chile/aconcaqua/casablanca/casas-del-bosque-private-reserve-la-trampa/ Mon, 25 May 2026 07:29:02 +0000 https://vinumlector.com/?post_type=product&p=10606
The origin of “La Trampa” dates back to the early 2000’s, when the dream of the “Great Chilean Cool - Climate Red” began to take shape through an innovative proposal of planting low-yielding Syrah on granitic soils at the top of the hills. Later, advances in topography and knowledge of the vineyards led the team to plant Malbec in the same soils and in another part of the hill facing east, where the best Pinot Noir were already cultivated.
Over the years, experience showed that complementing our Syrah with Malbec and, later, Pinot Noir would give rise to this great wine, achieving a deep finesse and elegance like no other blend from a cold climate.

Residual sugar 1.87 g/l
Total acidity 6.8 g/l

APPEARANCE
Intense violet color with slight blue hues.

NOSE
The aromatic notes are well integrated and form an intense and elegant bouquet.

PALATE
This version of La Trampa is marked by an increasing role of Malbec in the blend and gives a perfumed wine with silky tannins, while the Pinot Noir balances the intensity of the Syrah and Malbec with its lightness.

AGEING
Ageing for 18 months in a mix of first-use, second-use and third-use French oak barrels. 25% of the blend was stored for 18 months in truncated cone-shaped concrete tanks.

PAIRING
Idealy serve d with lamb chops, spicy pork meat or black pudding. Very good with nutty and sharp cheeses like goat’s cheese, but also brie or even smoked blue cheese.

The name Almaviva, though it has an Hispanic sonority, belongs to classical French literature: Count Almaviva is the hero of The Marriage of Figaro, the famous play by Beaumarchais (1732-1799), later turned into an opera by the genius of Mozart. The label, meanwhile, pays homage to Chile’s ancestral history, with three reproductions of a stylised design, which symbolises their vision of the earth and the cosmos. The label bears the name Almaviva in Beaumarchais’ own handwriting. Two great traditions thus join hands to offer the whole world a promise of pleasure and excellence.
