Description

Unveil the captivating depth of Clos Apalta Colchagua Valley 2021, a Chilean masterpiece that delivers a complex symphony of dark and red fruits, complemented by intriguing savory notes. This exceptional wine, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, promises a sophisticated and memorable tasting journey.

The Merlot in this blend offers up black fruit aromas like black cherry and blackberry, with a wonderful freshness on the palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly from old pre-phylloxera vines, contributes red fruit (raspberry) and black fruit (blackcurrant, blueberry) aromas, alongside ripe bell pepper and black olive notes. The Carmenère, brightly colored with hints of purple, provides richness with rounded tannins and delicate cherry aromas on the nose, subtly balanced by spicy touches of black pepper.

The wine underwent 89% of its fermentation in 75hL French oak vats and 11% in French oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barrels. It was then aged for 21 months in French oak barrels (78% new, 22% second use) and was neither fined nor filtered, preserving its authentic character.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 16-18°C with lamb roast, game stew with wild mushrooms, dark chocolate.

About brand

It is rare for a place to be able to captivate a person so immediately, with so much force. It was 1994. After months of research, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband, Cyril de Bournet, discovered the Apalta Valley. A fine, golden light embraced the vineyard whilst hundred-year old-vines stood, intertwining majestically. Harmony had taken residence here. Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle knew that Clos Apalta could bring about the joyful encapsulation of this breathtaking landscape. As the terroir is a living matter, Clos Apalta has opened up to organics in the gentlest possible way. From then on, helping to preserve the natural and pure feel of the different terroirs became an absolute priority. The vineyard receives the best care possible.
