Château Cana – Les Cabires Rosé

This wine is the offspring of Cinsault and Syrah's delectable marriage. It is a young, active and dry wine bursting with ripe, fruity red berry aromas and flavors. Les Cabires - Rosé is well balanced, making for a fresh and crisp drink. The vines are planted on terraces; and consequently the grapes are handpicked during the harvest season, which is softer on the vines and helps with the quality control, such as dismissing under ripe or rotten grapes.

The sorted grapes are quickly de-stemmed and crushed. With the skin contact, the mixture is partially fermented before being pressed in order to separate the juice from the skins, seeds, and solids. With our minimal intervention model of wine making, the must (or juice) can continue the fermentation naturally within 6-12 hours. After around 3 weeks of fermentation, the wine is refrigerated for a week at -2°C and then filtered and bottled.

Premium ARAK, FAKRA - XO SUPREME

Finest Arak of Great Complexity & Finesse. Triple Distilled From Wild Sunbathed Merwah Grapes And Rare Hina Aniseed.

Allowed To Mature In Old Clay Jars For 7 Years, Expertly Combined To Create This Distinctively Balanced Aroma.

Winemaking: The grapes are manually harvested, totally stemmed and transferred to tank in order to achieve the alcoholic fermentation. The Cinsault is shortly vatted to keep the freshness, the Syrah and Mourvedre are kept for a longer time to extract the aroma and spices, and the Cabernet-Sauvignon undergoes long skin contact to express length and elegance. The free flowing and press wine achieve the malolactic fermentation in different vats.

Maturing: The grape varietals are matured separately in vats for 14 to 18 months before being blended, fined and bottled. Taste: Its bright intense ruby red colour, with an exotic fruity aroma along with spicy and licorice notes make it a wine to remember. The mellow and supple tannins produce a persisting length on the Palate Ageing It can be drunk upon purchase or kept for 2 to 3 years in a good cellar.

Serving: Its easy flowing taste suits daily consumption and goes along very well with leg of lamb and stew
