Lapostolle Apalta Red 2018 (1500ml) Garnatxa

Lapostolle Apalta Red 2018 (1500ml) GarnatxaIntense and deep red color with violet edges; Elegant, fine and well balanced nose with black fruits such as blackberry and black spicy aromas; Palate has a silky attack followed by red and black fruit, coffee and chocolate flavors with good tannins delivering a very good structure. Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah, 10% Carmenere

as I thought when tasting it from barrel

The palate is juicy and gulpable

and Howell Mountain is sourced

A wine of precision and class

All the vines in the Assyrtiko blocks are planted in shallow soils over the bedrock which makes them struggle just a little

this wine is vinified in stainless steel to preserve the naturally fresh qualities of the varietal

is the first clue to its intensity

this delicious biodynamic wine has a  lovely mouthfeel

APPELLATION: Rioja D
