2020 Lapostolle Grand Selection Merlot Valle del Rapel is located in the central part of Chile. It exhibits a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with warm and dry days and pleasantly cool nights during the growing season, as a result of cold breezes coming from the Andes. Rapel has also a cool influence from the Pacific’s Humboldt Current, which lowers temperatures in the coastal areas of the valley. This leads to warm days with ample sunlight and dry conditions, allowing a slow ripening period and maintain its natural acidity that is a characteristic of this elegant Merlot. 2020 was an extremely dry season in Chile, a mild winter with temperatures above average both in the maximum and in the minimal. This resulted in an extremely early season, where maturity come quickly and unevenly so selection was key, with higher levels of sugars, tannins and acidity surprisingly good.
