Description
A classic Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, Clos du Soleil’s Capella is a wine of grace and elegance: light gold in the glass, displaying intense aromas of grapefruit, beeswax, lime zest, and meadow grasses. The palate shows an array of flavours: lemon and lime and ripe grapefruit, with notes of peach and apricot and all tied together with bright, crisp citrus acidity. On the palate the wine is full and rich with a textural softness resulting from sur-lie ageing. A lovely saline minerality strings it all together, through to the very long finish. This is a seafood wine par-excellence, but roast chicken or herb-crusted pork would be excellent too.
