Tasting notes
Deep ruby in color, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a hint of spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity that support the rich dark fruit core. Subtle oak adds touches of vanilla and cocoa, while a savory edge brings depth and structure. The finish is smooth and lingering, with persistent berry fruit and a gentle herbal nuance.

Viticulture
Lapostolle’s Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Colchagua Valley, one of Chile’s most celebrated wine regions, known for its warm climate, abundant sunshine, and ideal conditions for producing ripe, expressive red wines. The vineyards benefit from a combination of daytime heat and cooling influences that help the grapes develop rich fruit character while retaining freshness and balance. The soils and landscape of Colchagua Valley contribute to the wine’s depth and structure, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to show its classic profile of dark berries, blackcurrant, and subtle spice. Lapostolle is recognized for its careful vineyard work and commitment to quality, bringing out both elegance and intensity in the final wine. This Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the character of its origin with a generous, smooth style and a well-rounded finish.
Oenology
Lapostolle Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from Colchagua Valley is made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in one of Chile’s most respected wine regions. The wine is typically vinified to highlight the varietal’s classic character, with fermentation in stainless steel and controlled temperature to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. Gentle extraction is used during maceration to build color, structure, and fine tannins while keeping the style balanced and approachable. A portion of the wine may be matured in oak to add complexity, subtle spice, and notes of cedar or vanilla without overpowering the fruit. The result is a polished Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe blackberry and cassis aromas, good depth, and a smooth, harmonious finish.
Suggestions for accompaniment
Lapostolle Grand Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from Colchagua Valley pairs well with grilled red meats such as beef steak, ribeye, lamb chops, roast lamb, and braised short ribs. It also matches hearty dishes like beef stew, mushroom risotto, lasagna, and rich pasta with tomato and meat sauce. For accompanying dishes, serve roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, green beans, and aged hard cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, or manchego. Dark chocolate desserts can also complement its ripe fruit and firm tannins.
