June 22, 2017 - The Apaltagua is unique in that it's a rosé made from Chile's signature Carménère grape. We'd been saving it for an occasion to share with someone we believed would truly appreciate it. It's extraordinarily pale, looking in the glass at least as much like a white as it does a rosé. Mineral defines a nose in which there is only a bit of green apple (reminiscent of some Sauvignon Blanc) among otherwise imperceptible fruit notes, but the wine tastes completely different than it smells. The plate is more floral, a bit like a Viognier, though there is a bit more apple and orange citrus towards the slightly sweet finish.

September 17, 2016 - Very simple wine. A very alcoholic and muted nose with some raspberry jelly, a hint of flowers, a tiny zip of spices. On mouth it feels light and highly acidic, with a sweet midpalate (red gummy bear). Not bad, but it's really boring and average.
