Winemaking Notes

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 (12% 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, allow- ing 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.

Food Pairing

This wine is both approachable and totally food-friendly, yet retains all of the complexity and depth to truly engage the taster.
