Bordeaux blend that is soft and full of fruit with a classic and elegant structure. The taster is greeted with aromas of fresh ripe raspberries and blackberries, baking spices and forest underbrush. 44% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot.
On the palate the full body wine is soft and layered, dominated by fresh ripe fruit flavors of raspberry, blackberry, and pomegranate, with more subtle notes of forest undergrowth and spice, with juicy acidity. 14.4% alcohol.
Each variety and each vineyard block was harvested separately when judged to be at optimal maturity. Each lot was gently destemmed and then after a moderate cold soak, the fruit was fermented in concrete tanks. Following pressing, the wines were aged in 100% French oak barrels for 15 months (13% new). Only those barrels displaying the ideal characteristics for our Célestiale blend were selected for this wine. This wine was gently filtered prior to bottling under screw cap, allowing us to preserve all of this wine’s freshness and approachability. All of the same skill, care and time-honoured artisanal winemaking techniques go into making this wine as Signature, the flagship wine of Clos du Soleil.
This wine is both approachable and totally food-friendly, yet retains all of the complexity and depth to truly engage the taster.
Food Pairing: This bold wine incorporates rich black fruit flavors and spice in a densely structured profile with firm tannins, making it a great pairing for steak, barbeque and full-flavored cheese such as cheddar and gouda. Consider dishes like beef stew, duck or lamb.
