This unique blend offers a complex, intense & elegant nose with expressive notes of red & black fruit, spices & tobacco. Balanced, supple mid-palate with some more spices & red fruit, followed by a long finish. Lapostolle is owned by the Marnier-Lapostolle family (of Grand Marnier fame), & since the winery's foundation in 1994 has pursued an uncompromising approach to quality. Their objective is simple as it is ambitious: to create world-class wines using French expertise & the superb terroir of Chile. The five varieties in Borobo are h&-harvested from three of Casa Lapostolle's premium sites: in Apalta (Cabernet, Petit Verdot & Carmenere), Casablanca (Pinot Noir) & Cachapoal Valley (Syrah). All of the grapes were h&-destemmed. The must was wild fermented in small French oak casks for ten to fifteen days at less than 28&176;C, followed by post-fermentation skin contact lastgin from just a couple of days in the case of the Pinot Noir to three weeks for the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was then racked to barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation, & aged for twenty-four months in 100% new French oak barrels before bottling unfined & unfiltered. 30% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Syrah; 20% Carmenere; 15% Pinot Noir & 10% Merlot. ...

Casa Lapostolle - Casa Carmenere 2015 75cl Bottle

Intense, complex nose full of different aromas: white pepper and red fruit at the start, then runes and black cherries with some hints of sweet spices. Juicy on the palate, with soft structure and balance; fresh fruit flavours on the finish. The Rapel Valley is one of the few places with ideal conditions for Carmenere. The climate is semi-arid Mediterranean with winter-only rainfall and warm, dry days during the growing season. Both the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean have a cooling influence on the vineyards. The soils are of alluvial origin with a layer of clay and good drainage. The grapes for this vintage are partly from Lapostolle's own Apalta vineyard and partly from long term contract growers in the region. All grapes were harvested by hand in small cases of 14
kilos and carefully transported to the winery. Winery All grapes were macerated for upto four weeks to extract structure and colour. During maceration, fermenation in stainless steel tanks lasted for about two weeks, utilising the native yeasts. Fifty-eight percent of the wine was aged for six months in French oak, a mixture of new and used barrels.
