Clos Apalta Vins du Monde - Prélude Red 2023

Wine:

The 2023 Red Prélude – Valle de Apalta is a recent addition to the estate. Crafted with the same meticulous expertise as Clos Apalta and Petit Clos, this third wine in the collection charms with its generous, approachable style. From its very first years, it is ready to enjoy, offering a spontaneous invitation to convivial moments. A wine made for sharing, Prélude captures the festive energy of Chile while carrying the elegant signature of the Apalta terroir.

In the heart of Chile’s Colchagua Valley, 170 km south of Santiago, Casa Lapostolle is one of the country’s finest estates and its most precious flagship. Born of both Chilean and French culture, this winery founded in 1994 reveals the very best of South American terroirs.

With the help of consultant Michel Rolland, Clos Apalta was created in 1997, an elite wine at the head of the range, produced under strict biodynamic principles. Today, it stands among the greatest wines of the world, alongside Vega Sicilia, Penfolds and Opus One.

This recognition is well deserved for a country blessed with ideal conditions: cooled by ocean air, protected by the mountains, the vines enjoy a perfectly tempered climate. All that was missing was the talent to reveal them — and now it is done.

Regularly cited among the best wines in the world, Clos Apalta is the only South American wine ever ranked No. 1 by Wine Spectator.
