Clos Apalta, 'Le Petit Clos', Colchagua Valley, 2017 Red Wine, 75cL, Organic, ChileanBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, discovered the Apalta Valley in 1994. They acquired a 40-hectare vineyard at the entrance to the Apalta, with altitudes of 150-300 meters above sea level and granite rich soils with varying proportions of clay. The vineyard was planted with mainly Carmenere, averaging 80 years old, and smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2009, and Charles-Henri de Bournet Marnier Lapostolle, the 7th generation of the family, has been in charge since 2013. The winery features an ultra-modern cellar with a 100% gravitational system, which gently processes the fruit from reception to bottling. The 2017 Red Blend Le Petit Clos is a wine from the Colchagua Valley.
