The aromas are appealing, with floral notes giving way to apple and citrus. The wine is rich on the palate with flavours of mandarin orange mingled with butter and stone fruit. The finish is very long.

Capture is all about texture and weight but with restraint. Look for creamy, buttery apple fruit streaked with pears, spice, honey, tangerine and sea salt—a perfect wine for fresh BC halibut.
