My mother, Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, always dreamt of crafting the perfect wine. She spent years in search of an exceptional terroir to create a unique wine which would come to take its place as one of the best in the world. This was 25 years ago. Having crossed several continents, she found the picture-perfect location of the Apalta Valley. For her dream to become reality, she let the rolling mountains and sunlit air speak to her, guessed their extraordinary potential, and tamed them. French expertise would refine the breathtaking landscape with hundreds of careful changes and masterful adjustments. Clos Apalta was thus born, an enchanting wine with a shimmering texture and complexity that stimulates the senses and excites the imagination.
