Tasting Notes

Colour - Pale salmon pink. Aroma - Fresh and youthful with delicate floral notes to the nose; honeysuckle, violet and white peaches. Palate - This is an elegant vintage, with lower alcohol as a result of the young vines Cinsault, planted in 2018 from our new vineyards in the hills above Byblos, in Mehrine. A hint of peach and lychee on the palate, this is all at once spring time in a glass. Ideal served lightly chilled as an aperitif or with fish, charcuterie and Middle Eastern mezze.
