Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Lapostolle Grand Selection Sauvignon Blanc offers a crisp, refreshing experience perfect for warm afternoons or lively gatherings. With an ABV of 13%, this Chilean white wine is crafted from carefully selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the cool Casablanca and Rapel Valleys, regions celebrated for their vibrant whites. The meticulous production process preserves the grape’s natural acidity and aromatic intensity, resulting in a wine that feels both invigorating and elegant on the palate.

Bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lime mingle with hints of green apple and fresh-cut grass, creating a lively bouquet that awakens the senses. This Sauvignon Blanc’s zesty acidity makes it an ideal companion for tangy goat cheese, enhancing its creamy texture while balancing its richness. It also pairs beautifully with oysters, as its mineral undertones and clean finish complement the briny freshness of shellfish, making each bite more memorable.

Producer Information: Lapostolle

Lapostolle is based in the Colchagua Valley of Chile, a region celebrated for its ideal grape-growing conditions due to its Mediterranean climate and diverse soils. The winery was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournet, members of the family behind Grand Marnier. Their vision was to combine French winemaking expertise with Chilean terroir, focusing on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar to express the purity of their vineyards.

Beyond their acclaimed Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, Lapostolle produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The estate also crafts limited-edition blends under their Clos Apalta label, which has received international acclaim. In addition to wine production, Lapostolle extends its heritage into spirits with Kappa Pisco—a premium Chilean brandy distilled from Muscat grapes—showcasing their commitment to quality across both wine and distilled beverages.
