Clos Apalta - Apalta 2018

The Marnier Lapostolle family, founders of the liqueur Grand Marnier, created Casa Lapostolle in 1994 with the ambition to create world-class wines by combining the superb terroir of Chile with their French winemaking philosophy. With the help of Michel Rolland, they decided to create Clos Apalta, the flagship of the winery, which debuted with the vintage 1997.

Within just a few years, this wine achieved remarkable international recognition, including being the only Latin American wine to be #1 Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator, and was soon considered as being part of the world’s greatest wines. It has now become a standalone wine, with its own specific vineyard in Apalta, and a dedicated winery.

This perfect location ensures perfect vine-growing conditions:
• Warm days and cool nights thanks to the location between the Mountains and the Ocean
• Moderated temperature and no extreme variation thanks to the River
• Limited vines exposure to intense sunshine thanks to the foothills which block the sun’s rays at the sunrise and at the sunset.

In addition to its ideal location, Clos Apalta vineyard benefits from several strengths which make the wine unique, with a real personality:
• High density vineyard planted on a low fertility granitic soils
• South-oriented horseshoe of non-irrigated foothills
• Organic and Biodynamic vineyard management
• Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon Pre-filoxeric old vines planted in 1920, not grafted.

In 2006, an incredible cellar 100% dedicated to Clos Apalta has been inaugurated: 6 levels which allows to work completely through gravity… 4 of which are buried into the granite of the Apalta hillside to provide a natural cool temperature environment for cellaring and ageing.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
The season began with a cold and rainy winter 2017, which allowed for sufficient accumulation of water in the soil and an adequate sum of cold hours. Spring 2017 did not register significant frosts and continued with good temperature and luminosity conditions, allowing excellent shooting and flowering. From December 2017 and
until mid-February 2018, the maximum temperatures were moderate throughout the central zone and in particular in Apalta, which determined a prolonged fruit setting and maturation. After the second fortnight of February 2018 there was a temperature rise, with temperatures above 35°C, accelerating the processes of maturation on early varieties. March was fresh, which allowed for a slow accumulation of sugars without a great loss of acidity, which
are both key in wines of great balance. Autumn did not bring any rain allowing later varieties to be harvested at optimal maturation. This year Clos Apalta had a generous production, healthy, of excellent flavor, with relatively moderate alcohol levels and more freshness.

TASTING NOTE
Clos Apalta 2018 presents a deep and inky purple red robe with dark blue edges. The nose is intense, spicy overlapping with layers of red and black fruit, and cedar notes.
On the palate, elegant tannins open towards a mid-palate that combines finesse and concentration, round and fresh.
Exceptionally long finish.

The 2018 Clos Apalta is 64% Carménère, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot from Apalta, Colchagua, aged for 24 months in 85% new barrels. The ripe, complex, clear nose offers prune, blueberries and blackberries along with pepper, tobacco, rosemary, cigar box and a whiff of smoke. Creamy and broad in the mouth with good volume, a firm flow and contained structure. The tannins set the tone while the mellow freshness underlines the sugary profile. A genuine Michel Rolland wine made during a year of subtle flavors.

Full of character and depth, stretches out as it opens. Higher alcohol than the estate’s 2nd wine Le Petit Clos, but you feel it less in this wine because there is so much at play here. Complex and confident, with a flood of flavour; extremely muscular and intense but you get salinity and juice that keeps up the pace, running alongside the fruit from start to finish. Tight tannins, needs a few years in bottle.

There is a lot of Carmenere character on the nose of the 2018 Clos Apalta, which was produced with 64% Carmenere, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot, a blend that is similar to the one used in 2016. The wine is not shy at all and hits the scale at 15% alcohol. It's showy, heady, hedonistic, aromatic, full-bodied and lush with abundant velvety tannins and a long and powerful finish where the notes of black peppercorns and tea and tobacco leaves dominate. This might not be a wine for everybody, but fans of the style will love it. 92,748 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2020.

So aromatic and fresh with dried flowers, sweet tobacco and hints of straw. Red fruit, cloves and green peppercorns. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins that are very fresh and refined. Fine, silky and beautiful. Hints of minerals and granite to the dark fruit. Such gorgeous length and beauty. 64% carmenere, 18% cabernet franc and 18% merlot. Extremely long and poised. Cooler wine. From biodynamically grown grapes. Delicious to drink already, but another three to four years will make it even better.
