Lapostolle Wines is no stranger to accolades – every year their small range gains high scores from top critics – well over 90! Their 2018, a vintage described by their chief winemaker, Andrea leon, as 'a treat from Mother Nature', saw 98-Points from critic James Suckling. This pioneering estate was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle and her husband Cyril de Bournier. Originally from Bordeaux, they fell in love with Chile’s Colchagua Valley and built an impressive six-level winery, elliptically shaped, that today is still pure state of the art. The estate boasts 370 hectares of biodynamic vines across Colchagua, Casablanca and Cachapoal. Two years in new French oak, this is a serious red. Decant early or cellar a few years.
Critic, 98 points
