2017 vintage. Rosé de saignée from cabernet franc (60%) and syrah. Attractive strawberry nose with a hint of roses. Serious rosé with good fruit concentration, purity and length. Highly recommended.

I missed you! Fantastic wine, freshness and fruitiness together, mineral traces, perfect for a sunny day in the Middle East

My favorite rose in the Middle East, medium acidity, balanced, fruity and spiced, perfect wine for sea food and Arabic mezze

Retrained, dry, strawberries, cranberries but without any searing acidity. Actually very refreshing and a good alternative to saccharine candy floss obsessed rosés. Lebanon could use the investment too.
