Description
Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Pinot Noir
Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Pinot Noir has a cherry red colour and ruby edges. Elegant and complex fruity nose of cherry and plums mixing with hints of pepper and clover. Fresh and creamy mouthfeel with a medium body and good structure. Juicy red cherry, plum and raspberry flavours with soft vanilla and a hint of cloves that extends to the finish.
100% Pinot Noir. The fruit for this wine comes from Lapostolle's Atalayas Vineyard in Casablanca Valley. Casablanca Valley is 27.5km away from the coast and 76 km west from Santiago, right in the Coastal Cordillera. Pinot Noir was first planted here in 1997. The vineyard experiences a strong influence from the cool coastal wind and has a very low annual rainfall, which is good for the slow maturity of the grapes
