APALTA VALLEY / CASA LASPOTOLLE – TRANSFER OUT TO AIRPORT OR HOTEL
After breakfast we’ll visit the Santa Cruz museum and then head to Clos de Apalta winery, located at Casa Lapostolle residence. This revolutionary winery is solely dedicated to the production of Casa Lapostolle’s world-class icon wine, Clos de Apalta. The winery is 100% gravity-fed spanning five levels, three of which are buried into the granite of the Apalta hillside to provide a natural cool temperature environment for cellaring and ageing. This rare vertical design allows the wine to flow naturally downward during every stage of the production, eliminating the need to pump, which can adversely affect the subtle flavors of the wine.
Grapes are hand-harvested and brought to the highest level of the winery where they will be 100% hand-destemmed, a labor intensive technique performed by only very few wineries throughout the world. Fermentation takes place in 21 small French wooden vats which size corresponds to a parcel of our Apalta vineyard.
You will admire a wonderful setting in which wine industry blends perfectly with design. The tour will take a bit more than an hour, and you will be introduced into the winemaking world; finishing with a tasting of Casa Lapostolle wines, which will be longing to be a part of your experience.
As well, we’ll enjoy a deluxe lunch at Clos de Apalta winery to end this Chilean wine experience.
