Clos du Soleil Celestiale (750ml)

A blend of 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot from a few different vineyards in the Similkameen Valley.  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 to preserve all of this wine’s freshness and approachability.
