One of the oldest vineyards of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère in Chile, if not in the world, is the origin of this story. Tucked away in the Colchagua Valley, near the town of Santa Cruz, the Apalta Valley was the place selected by the visionary family Bournet-Lapostolle. The region's particular soil and climate conditions make for very elegant, complex wines with great structure, depth, color and an excellent aging potential. True to the demands of the family, their ambition was to produce an exceptional wine and to pave the way for the qualitative development of the country's fine wines. Recognized as “New World Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast in 2008, Lapostolle is considered as one of the most premium winery in Chile. Currently, the team behind the creation of Clos Apalta and Lapostolle is led by the son of the founders and Seventh Generation of the Bournet-Lapostolle family, Charles de Bournet.
