Right now I love the wines from Casa Lapostolle. The winery, based in Chile, has just been given a full organic rating and the quality of the wines shine. The Cuvée wines in particular are better when enjoyed with a meal, because they have a rich, full-bodied flavour.
CUVÉE ALEXANDRE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
This wine is elegant and complex, bursting with fruit and sweet spices. The Cabernet Sauvignon has elegant and juicy tannins and a pleasant long finish. A versatile wine, which pairs well with any grilled meats.
CUVÉE ALEXANDRE PINOT NOIR
This wine is full of red fruit aromas mixed with tobacco. Fresh and complex, it has great volume and structure and a long lasting finish. Pair with roasted chicken and rich fish dishes such as snapper and tuna.
CUVÉE ALEXANDRE MERLOT
Intense and expressive with rich black fruit and an elegant subtle sweet spice. This wine has a bold tannic structure with lingering currant and blackberry flavours. Concentrated and dense, this wine ages well. Pair with meat or strong cheeses.
CUVÉE ALEXANDRE CHARDONNAY
Elegant aromas of sweet citrus fruit, tropical fruits and subtle spices characterize this delicious wine. Great with creamy based pasta dishes and fish.
