Lapostolle

Grand Selection Sauvignon Blanc

The mission of the Grand Selection Tier is to capture the freshness of the fruit. Young, expressive, bright, and vivid are defining characteristics of Lapostolle Grand Selection wines.

Wine Production

We want to enhance the best fruit that Rapel Valley offers its
structure and natural acidity.
Our key points are strict fruit selection with Vistalys, natural
juice decantation and low temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
We added 15% of Sauvignon Gris. The result is a wine that
showcases its natural flavors and acidity. Delicate notes of white fruits and rounded mid palate.

Tasting Notes

Grand Selection Sauvignon Blanc is very expressive, with aromas of fresh herbs, cucumber, pears, and floral notes. It's balanced and fresh mid-palate with good volume and a long-lasting finish.

Food Pairing

Serve chilled as an aperitif or paired with spaghetti and clams, lemon chicken, melon and prosciutto, or your favorite summer salad.

About the Vineyard

Rapel Valley is located in the central part of Chile. It includes the sub Valleys of Cachapoal and Colchagua. It exhibits a semi - arid Mediterranean climate with a winter – only rainfall pattern.  Our Sauvignon Blanc comes from a very special area in Cachapoal, directly beneath the foothills of the Andes. The vines grow with the cold influence of the mountains and express all the minerality of the vineyards unique stony soil. "Las Kuras" means stones in the native Mapuche language.
