Lapostolle Apalta 2021

Lapostolle Apalta 2021 is a sophisticated Chilean red blend from the renowned Apalta Valley, crafted with a focus on expressing the unique terroir of the estate's organic and biodynamic vineyards. This vintage features a blend of 54 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 23 percent Merlot, 10 percent Carmenere, 7 percent Cabernet Franc, and 6 percent Syrah, resulting in a wine with a bright ruby color and a complex aromatic profile of red and black fruits, fresh herbs, and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied with a silk texture, offering balanced tannins and juicy acidity that lead to an elegant finish. Aged for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel, it reflects a cooler growing season that preserved freshness and natural acidity, making it an excellent introduction to the prestigious wines of the region.
