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.
