Carmenère-dominant Bordeaux-style blend from one of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère vineyards in the world — originally planted around 1915 using a unique French massal selection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Apalta Valley near Santa Cruz was selected by a visionary planter in the 1910s for its exceptional terroir. In 1994, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet acquired the property with the ambition to produce an exceptional wine and pave the way for the qualitative development of Chilean fine wines. Shaping the vineyard foot by foot and building a state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery, the family made Clos Apalta one of the most iconic wines in South America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep garnet — reflecting the intense color of Carmenère grapes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redcurrant, raspberry, wild strawberries; ripe fruit complexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Berry fruits underpinned by soft, silky tannins; black olive, blackcurrant, and licorice contrasts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incredibly long and taut with exquisite, delicate tannins; expresses the elegance of Apalta terroir\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaines Bournet-Lapostolle, Apalta Valley, Colchagua, Chile\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1997\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48% Carmenère, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-blend\"\u003ered blend wine at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Apalta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42902012362823,"sku":"WB LSLCAR17C","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/Clos-Apalta-2017-XX-Vintage_e9fbf351-d8ea-48eb-b717-c847da8a542f.jpg?v=1782422756","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/clos-apalta-2017","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
