Clos Apalta 'Le Petit Clos' Red Blend 2021

Clos Apalta ‘Le Petit Clos’ 2021 – Apalta, Colchagua Valley, Chile

The second wine of the iconic Clos Apalta estate, Le Petit Clos delivers impressive depth, structure, and elegance - showing the same meticulous attention to detail that has made its grand vin one of Chile’s most celebrated reds. The 2021 vintage is vibrant, polished, and beautifully sculpted, blending power with remarkable freshness.

The nose opens with aromatic layers of blackberry, cassis, blueberry compote, violets, tobacco leaf, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full bodied with finely textured tannins, lively acidity, and a seamless flow of dark fruit, cocoa, graphite, and savoury herbs. The influence of French oak is refined and integrated, giving shape without overwhelming the wine’s natural energy. Long, elegant, and expressive, it offers superb value in the world of premium Chilean reds.
