Pretty, juicy, zesty.
This vintage, a blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Semillon this classic Bordeaux blend was partially fermented in stainless steel and oak puncheons, then aged on lees in both oak and stainless.
It's likely my favourite wine from Clos du Soleil as it has a joyful character and plenty aromatic. Expect melon and peaches, pear, grass clippings, honey and wildflower aromas. The palate is zesty, ever-so-slightly off-dry with nice snap. Bold honeydew melon and sparkling peach flavours dominate. Such a pretty and approachable wine.
Pair: oysters and other seafood, white meats, appetizers or cheese platters.
