The Estate
Nestled in the splendid Colchagua Valley, Clos Apalta has established itself as one of Chile's most renowned estates. The unique microclimate of Clos Apalta, combined with a preserved traditional know-how, is the cornerstone of crafting exceptional artisan wines.
The Vineyard
Situated on a remarkable terroir, the vineyard covers 60 hectares, including vines some of which are over 80 years old. The Petit Clos from Clos Apalta is a Central Valley wine endowed with rare finesse.
The Vintage
The 2022 vintage in Apalta was marked by cooler conditions, a dry winter, an unstable spring without frosts, and a cooler summer with more sunshine. Growth was delayed, requiring rigorous irrigation. Harvest began one week later than the previous year. These conditions allowed for optimal grape maturation, producing balanced, fruit-rich wines with good density, texture, and excellent aging potential.
Blend
Carmenère (59 %)
Cabernet sauvignon (33 %)
Merlot (5 %)
Cabernet franc (3 %).
