Named to honor the family’s legacy of fine wines and spirits dating back to 1827, the Cuvée Alexandre wines are produced entirely from Apalta estate grapes. Cuvée Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship of the line, is a global benchmark of quality for the variety. The Apalta DO lies within a projection of the Coastal Cordillera, a small mountain range of decomposed granite between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean within the Colchagua Valley. The family’s estate – the ‘Clos’ – is protected by a horseshoe-shaped mountain that shelters vines from the extreme influences of the Andes and Pacific. The hills provide relief from the afternoon sun in summer, creating slightly cooler conditions than the rest of the valley. Below, the Tinguiririca River cuts along the valley, providing natural drainage for winter rains. Here, conditions are perfect for elegant, complex wines with great structure, depth, color, and aging potential. To express the terroir of Apalta is our mission; so, our winemaking philosophy remains very natural a process with minimal intervention. Our key points are 100% hand harvest in small cases of 14 kilos, strict fruit selection by 100% optical state of the art grape selection.
