Chile’s Elite “Clos Apalta” Red Wine

Most wine consumers are familiar with the range of low-priced wines grown in Chile, but would be surprised to learn that Chile also produces “Clos Apalta” which has been heralded as one of the finest wines in the world. Owned by France’s prestigious Lapostolle Family (creators of Grand Marnier liquer), Clos Apalta is aged 27 months in oak and is composed of Carmeniere grapes which were originally a species native to Bordeaux. With an herbaceous structure & leafy undertones, Clos Apalta is an exotically satisfying choice for wine lovers willing to spend in the range of $150+. #closapalta #carmeniere #redwine #winetasting
