Ksara Gris de Gris

There are those winemakers who take their rosé very seriously. Not as a summer patio product, but as equivalent to their white and red. Château Ksara from Lebanon, for example. There they soaked the pink skins of their Grenache Gris grapes in the must for a long time. That gives the wine structure. And of course a light orange-pink color. Add a dash of Carignan and voilà: a rosé that the true enthusiast can enjoy all year round.

Fresh and bone-dry. We taste nectarine, white berries and a stray raspberry. Almost a bit salty. Tasted blind you would probably guess a white wine. Because in addition to all that freshness, it has a nice length and a tickling bitter in the aftertaste. And like so many Lebanese, that typical spiciness from the Orient.
