Flavour notes

The wine shows a dark, deep, inky purple-red colour. Aromatically it centres on ripe red and black fruit: plum, red cherry, dried fig, blueberry, blackberry and cassis, with clove, black pepper, smoke and a clear impression of French oak.

On the palate it is dry, full and concentrated, opening roundly before moving into a firm but polished structure. Chocolate, cocoa, espresso, vanilla, coconut, mint and smoky spice add depth to the dark fruit. The tannins are described as velvety and silky, with a well-filled mid-palate and a long, ripe finish.

Product info about Clos Apalta Vinotheque 2012

Clos Apalta Vinothèque 2012 is a library release of Clos Apalta 2012, brought back after extended cellaring by the Bournet-Lapostolle family. That makes it more than a standard vintage release: it is the same underlying wine, but offered after additional bottle ageing under controlled cellar conditions.

The blend is led by Carmenère, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving this Chilean red wine a Bordeaux-inspired frame with a clear Apalta identity. The estate refers to organic and biodynamic vineyard management, and for Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon it mentions old ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines planted in 1920.

The winemaking details point to a deliberate, hands-on approach: manual harvesting, full hand-destemming, native yeast fermentation in small French oak vats and 24 months in new French oak barrels. The wine was bottled without fining, cold stabilisation or filtration. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we would introduce to someone looking for a mature, serious Chilean red with provenance, structure and a limited-release feel.

The producer recommends giving it time in the glass, either by opening it several hours in advance or by careful decanting for at least one hour, served around 17 °C. Game, lamb, entrecôte, fillet and desserts based on rich bitter cocoa chocolate all sit comfortably alongside its full-bodied style.
