Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2002 is a red blend from the Colchagua Valley, Chile, crafted primarily from Merlot, Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine originates from a celebrated single vineyard. The vintage experienced challenging weather conditions, requiring precise viticultural practices, which led to a limited production of approximately 3,000 cases. Casa Lapostolle, co-founded by Laurent and Alexandra Golfier, emphasises organic farming and minimal intervention in the cellar. The vineyard`s clay and limestone soils contribute to the wine’s structure, while the cooler climate enhances its complexity and depth over time.
