CLOS APALTA 2014 COLCHAGA VALLEY CHILE

Origin & Style  

Clos Apalta 2014 originates from the steep, granitic slopes of the Apalta Valley, one of Chile’s most prestigious terroirs. Biodynamic farming and meticulous hand‑ selection result in a wine of remarkable depth and precision. The style is powerful yet refined, with a seamless balance of richness and elegance.

Aromatics  

Dark berries, cassis, plum, subtle herbal notes, graphite and cedar. The palate is dense and layered, with ripe tannins, vibrant freshness and impressive length. The finish is long, harmonious and mineral‑ driven.

Vinification  

Spontaneous fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels (high proportion new). The oak is well integrated, supporting structure and complexity.

Serving Recommendation  

Serve at 16–18 °C. Decant for 1–2 hours to reveal full aromatic depth.

Ageing Potential  

Excellent – the 2014 vintage is drinking beautifully now and will continue to evolve for another decade or more.
