Clos du Soleil Capella 2015

British Columbia, CanadaSauvignon and sémillon have been blended for ages in Bordeaux which is the recipe for this wine. In an age of skinny sauvignon blanc this barrel-fermented and aged white is a softer, smoother offering that plays on elegance and complexity, the latter to come with age in the bottle. The nose is fresh with citrus, lime rind, guava and grapefruit aromas and flavours that tumble onto its rich palate. Would we like a bit more acidity, who wouldn’t on 2015, but the it’s the layers of flavours that make this wine. The finish is all Similkameen with a salty/mineral undertone. Most sea-food works here but so too will roast chicken or pork. Drink through 2020.Tasted: 18 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:
