Clos Apalta is one of Chile’s most prestigious fine-wine estates, located in the Apalta Valley of the Colchagua Valley. Founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, the estate was established with the ambition of combining French winemaking expertise with Chile’s distinctive terroir.

The vineyards are renowned for their old Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, some planted between 1915 and 1920, growing on poor granite soils on sheltered hillsides. The estate’s gravity-fed winery and meticulous parcel-by-parcel approach to winemaking help preserve the character of individual vineyard plots. Its flagship wine, Clos Apalta, has earned international acclaim, including the Wine Spectator Wine of the Year award in 2005

really refined, expressive and layered Clos Apalta with fine olives, incense, cigar box, cocoa powder, Spanish chocolate, pencil shavings, graphite and fine spices. Juicy, bright and full-bodied palate with a fine saline, savory twist. Very long and juicy. 64% carmenere, 19% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and 2% petit verdot. Real finesse.
James Suckling 99pts

Creamy, smoky and spicy character, with cinnamon, vanilla and ripe blackberry notes. He describes generous oak, a lush palate, abundant fine-grained tannins and a persistent finish. Give the wine more time in bottle and Pair with powerful, flavourful food.
