Product Notes

Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Merlot is a distinguished Chilean wine hailing from the celebrated Apalta Vineyard. This exquisite Merlot possesses a deep ruby hue, revealing lush scents of ripe blackberries, hints of truffle and subtle oak undertones. On the palate, its charming, full-bodied texture unfolds impeccably balanced flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and spices, concluding with a lingering smooth finish. This Merlot is meticulously crafted from organically-grown grapes, matured in French oak barrels, expressing the perfect blend of winemaking artistry and terroir. Pairs magnificently with red meats, cheese, or savoured solo for the true connoisseur. Truly an enchanting experience.
