Connoisseurs' Guide

Wine Enthusiast 89 points - Opens sweet and borderline syrupy, but also dark, earthy and candied, with nothing offensive or too herbal. The palate is jammy and rich, with soft tannins, saturation, black-fruit flavors, chocolate and herbal flavors. Finishes sweet and sticky, with coffee and some mint. Very nice wine but also so ripe that the varietal character is vague. — M.S. (Feb 2011)

Wine maker notes

To express the terroir of Apalta is our mission; so our winemaking philosophy remains very natural and we adhere to minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvesting, strict fruit selection, gentle extraction methods and a judicious use of oak to preserve the fruit but integrate the complexity that a wine of this quality deserves. There is no clarification and a very light filtration. We create natural wines that are a true expression of their origin.
