Capaia One 2013
Made from selected blocks coming from Capaia terroir, this is an opulent wine, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as main characters, supported by Shiraz and a splash of Petit Verdot.
A complexity of elegant fruit aromas, supported by earthy, mineral flavours are brought to life by top notch French oak barrels. A full bodied wine, with well-structured, but soft tannins ending in a lingering satisfying finish.
This wine is a grand lady in every way, and should be treated as such in the glass.
