Wine Description:
Clos Apalta is a highly acclaimed wine produced by the renowned winery, Casa Lapostolle, located in the Colchagua Valley of Chile. The wine is made from a blend of Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes grown in the estate's biodynamic vineyards. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with varying soil types, providing unique and complex flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting, careful selection of grapes, and aging in French oak barrels for 24 months. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied red with notes of dark fruit, spices, and a long, elegant finish.
