Textured, complex, yet as refreshing as a dawn dip in the Pacific, Costa will satisfy your hedonistic side while appealing to your inner wine geek. Winemaker Cristóbal Undurraga attributes its crystalline character to the rocky (granite and quartz) soils and maritime climate of Paredones, some 120 kilometres west of Koyle’s base in Los Lingues. But terroir isn’t the only talking point: a third of the final blend is barrel fermented, a third in stainless steel and the final third in concrete eggs.
Expect aromas of nettles, hay and bay leaf. The palate combines mouth-watering acidity with a compelling mealiness.

Lapostolle Wines was founded in 1994 by Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, heiress to the Grand Marnier empire, to create world class wines using the French experience and the magnificent terroirs of Chile. The company now owns 370 hectares of vines, producing around 200000 cases annually, with the jewel in the crown being Clos Apalta, a single vineyard cuvee from a sub region of the Colchagua valley.

First launched in 1997, the wine is a blend of Carmenere (Chile’s signature red grape), Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Made with a firm nod to Bordeaux, but from the more Mediterranean climate provided by this part of Chile, the 2014 vintage is the finest to date.
