Carmenere w/ Andrea Leon of Lapostolle

If you listen to true crime podcasts (like Bridget), you may love this episode as we talk about  the "Lost Grape of Bordeaux" - Carmenere! Once thought to be completely wiped out, it was re-discovered in Chile and makes unique and delightful wines that you may have never tried before!

Lapostolle is one of Chile's premier wineries and focuses on making quality wines at affordable prices. We were fortunate to be joined by Andrea Leon, Head Winemaker at Lapostolle Wines. She helped us understand the grape, Chile, and provided a 360º perspective on grape growing, wine making, and enjoying wine!

If you'd like to learn more about Lapostolle, including detailed information on their environmental practices and their tourism options, you can visit their website. 

If you'd like to try wines from Lapostolle and their higher end project, Clos Apalta, here are a few we recommend:
