Casa Lapostolle
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cuvee Alexandre
Apalta Vineyard
Colchagua Valley
Grape:
88% Cabernet Sauvignon; 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Syrah certified Organic by CERES..
Color:
Deep red with dark purple hints.
Nose:
Dense nose full of tobacco and coffee aromas, but yet very elegant with red fruit aromas such as plums and cherries.
Palate:
Delicate attack and a broad structure of fine tannins towards the mid palate and finish. A concentrated body, which will enable a long bottle ageing.
Service and Food Pairing:
Cellar for several years or decant and serve at 16° C (60° F). Ideal companion for meats and elaborate dishes.
Harvest:
Winter 2010 brought a cold July and delayed the bud break by approximately 10 days, and that delay was maintained during spring. Summer was colder than normal with limited sunlight and December and January brought some rainfall which was unusual but beneficial for the vineyard after the dry winter and spring conditions. The cloudy summer resulted in decreased lightening, so maturity came at regular but slow pace and we didn't have the excess of sun that can occur sometimes. February was, on the contrary, hot and sunny as usual. Fall brought threatening clouds so it was very important to harvest fast, considering the risk of rain.
Vinification:
Our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from an old block of Cabernet: planted in 1920 with high density in special soil and geographic conditions. Our winemaking philosophy remains very natural and we adhere to minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvesting, strict fruit selection by 77% optical state of the art grape selection and 23% hand de-stemming of the grapes at our Clos Apalta Winery. All fermentations were made with wild yeast.
