Clos Apalta Winery

Die Weinberge für den Clos Apalta liegen in dem Valle de Colchagua. Die Blend für den Clos Apalta besteht aus Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot und Petit Verdot. Clos Apalta ist seit dem Jahrgang 2014 nicht mehr offizieller Teil des Weinguts Lapostolle. Mit der Errichtung einer eigenen Kellerei soll Clos Apalta alleine stehen und einen Icon Wine darstellen. Das neue Kellergebäude ist auf mehren Ebenen errichtet worden und man hat sich die natürliche Schwerkraft zu Gunste gemacht um bei der Weinbereitung auf jegliches Pumpen zu verzichten.
Wir freuen uns sehr den Clos Apalta 2014 der mit 100 Punkten bei James Suckling ausgezeichnet wurde anbieten zu können.
Auch der Clos Apalta 2015 wurde mit den begehrten 100 Punkten bei James Suckling ausgezeichnet.

The 2019 Clos Apalta was produced with a blend of 70% Carmenere, 18% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, extremely high in Carmenere and low in Cabernet Sauvignon in a ripe and warm year. It fermented with indigenous yeasts for four to five weeks, with manual punch-down of the cap, 67% in 7,500-liter French oak vats and 33% in new French oak barrels followed by malolactic in new French oak barrels. The élevage was 24 months in 90% new barrels and 10% second use. It's powerful, big and ripe, with 15% alcohol and a pH of 3.57. It's creamy and juicy, with very high ripeness and a notable absence of herbal notes; it's oaky, smoky and decadent, coming through as luxurious, round, lush and velvety. It's full-bodied and has abundant, small and powdery tannins. 103,944 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021.

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 17. April 2019:

What a stunning nose of crushed berries. fresh flowers. sandalwood and light vineyard dust. Black olives. too. Very complex. Full-bodied with a beautiful. dense palate of blackberries. chocolate. walnuts and cigar box. Fantastic length and composure. The tannin just rolls over the palate. Very structured. The most classically structured wine ever from here. Goes on for minutes. Outrageous and so polished. A blend of 48% carmenere. 26% cabernet sauvignon. 25% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2025.

Luis Gutierrez am 31.08.2020:

The 2017 Clos Apalta is the 20th vintage of this wine that was produced with a blend of 48% Carmenere. 26% Cabernet Sauvignon. 25% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot from organic and biodynamic certified vineyards on granite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts for four to five weeks. with manual punch-down of the cap. mostly in 7.500-liter French oak vats and 18% in new French barrique. Malolactic was in new French oak barrels. and the élevage lasted for 27 months in 85% new barrels and 15% second use. This is always a powerful. big and ripe wine that is regularly 15% alcohol. reflecting a warm and ripe place. The 2017 is no exception. perhaps a riper and more powerful wine than the 2016. It's still very young and marked by the élevage. with abundant balsamic aromas and notes from the wood—spice and smoke with an ashy touch. It seems quite marked by the character of the Carmenere. The tannins are quite round and polished. and the flavors are pungent and powerful. It's a full-bodied wine to age in in bottle and enjoy in its 10th birthday with powerful food. 90.000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019.

Andrea León takes over the technical management of Clos Apalta as of June 2020. so I expect some changes in the wines in future vintages. They have a total of 160 hectares planted in Apalta. but their wines come from a selection of the best plots. 48 hectares. of which 16 are very old. dry-farmed and ungrafted vines planted between 1915 and 1940. The average production is 100.000 bottles. The wines are sold through the Bordeaux négociants.

The wines released in September 2020 are from the 2017 vintage. the driest year in Apalta in the last 15 years. The drought was complicated by some of the highest temperatures ever. These extreme conditions favored the development of wild fires that burned an incredible 600.000 hectares of forest and shrubbery. Many vineyards were tainted by smoke. but not the ones from Apalta. It was a warm vintage of high ripeness and healthy grapes.

Clos Apalta 2017 ist der treue Ausdruck seiner Herkunft. Durch seine dunklen Granat- Tönen wird die Farbintensität der Carménères und ihre Noten reifer Früchte ausgedrückt. In der Nase enthüllt der Wein eine aromatische Fülle - Johannisbeere. Himbeere. Walderdbeere - die die schöne Komplexität der Rebsorten Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon und Carménère offenbart. Der Auftakt am Gaumen bringt rote Früchte und weiche. seidige Tannine hervor. die jedoch mit Noten von schwarzer Olive. schwarzer Johannisbeere und Lakritze ergänzt werden. Der Abgang mit feinen Tanninen ist unglaublich lang und spannend und bringt die volle Eleganz des Terroirs von Clos Apalta zum Ausdruck.

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 23. März 2021:

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.

Luis Gutierrez am 31.08.2021:

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.

Le Petit Clos 2018 Zweitwein von Clos Apalta

Beschreibung zum Petit Clos
Apalta is located at 170 Kilometers South West from Santiago in the Colchagua Valley. The Vineyard is situated on a North to South exposure. which is quite rare in Chile. The Tinguiririca river rests on one side and the hills from the Coastal Cordillera surround the vineyard like a horseshoe on the other. They are both integral in forming this unique terroir. This geography is responsible for the conditions that ensure balance for our vines and a slow ripening for the grapes. At sunrise and sunset. the Cordillera block the sun’s rays. limiting the vines exposure to intense sunshine and the river has a cooling influence on the climate. There is much diversity in the soil. and our Clos Apalta comes from colluvial granitic soils. lightly textured with layers of clay.

der JG 2018 wurde im August 2021 wie folgt bewertet:

The 2018 Le Petit Clos, a second wine born in 2014, was produced with a blend of 53% Carmenere, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot from organically and biodynamically certified vineyards even if the bottled doesn't carry the seals. It's ripe and powerful with the Apalta signature, earthy and stony. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats and matured in French barriques for some 22 months. It's full-bodied with a lush texture and round tannins, a softer version of the 2016. 89,472 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2020.

er bewertet den Le Petit Clos 2018 im Mai 2021 wie folgt:

A medium-bodied red with blackberry, red-berry and spice aromas and flavors. It’s chewy and polished with a medium finish. Dried flowers to the fruit at the finish. Tight and reserved now. Drink in 2022 and onwards.

96 Puntke James Suckling für den Le Petit Clos 2017 Zweitwein Clos Apalta

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 19. Februar 2020:

This is so delicious with blackcurrants. spice. sweet tobacco. lavender and roses. Full-bodied. tight and very polished with gorgeous texture and finesse. Shows tannin tension at the end. A blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon. the rest cabernet franc. Better after 2022.

The second wine. in the Bordeaux sense. the 2017 Le Petit Clos has a different blend from the grand vin. in this case 68% Cabernet Sauvignon. 16% Carmenere. 9% Cabernet Franc. 5% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot and is quite different every year. It fermented in 7.500-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and a four- to five-week maceration followed by malolactic in new barriques. It matured in new French barriques for six months and spent the next 16 months in first. second and third use French oak barrels. I found a lot less influence from the oak here than in the "grand vin" and a more classical profile with dominance of the Cabernet Sauvignon—ripe without excess. powerful and concentrated but with very good balance. It's quite approachable even when it feels quite youthful; the tannins are round. and the wine is neat and velvety with some creaminess. It has an elegant profile within the powerful character of the vintage. It surpassed my expectations. and I find it every bit as good as the 2016. 72.000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019. This has only been produced since 2014.
