Lapostolle - Valle de Colchagua Clos Apalta 2021

Recognized among the world's elite wines, this Clos Apalta earned sixth place in Wine Spectator's 2025 rankings—a testament to its exceptional quality and the masterful winemaking of Lapostolle in Valle de Colchagua. A distinguished choice for discerning collectors.

The 2021 Clos Apalta from Lapostolle is a luxurious, Bordeaux-inspired blend from the steep, amphitheater-shaped slopes of the Apalta Valley in Colchagua. Dominated by Carménère with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in support, it delivers a deep, dark profile of blackberry, plum, sweet spice, and sandalwood, lifted by hints of lavender and fresh herbs. The palate is plush and concentrated yet notably elegant in this vintage, showing polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, harmonious finish shaped by 24 months in mostly new French oak. It’s a modern Chilean icon—bold, refined, and built for both early pleasure and long-term cellaring.

100 points, James Suckling.
