PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
While on the surface a wine from Morocco may seem like a novelty, trust us when we tell you that it is not. This featured wine is a classic Mediterranean blend — 55% Cinsault and 45% Grenache, grown in a climate perfect for viticulture, with warm, dry, sunny summers and mild, wet winters. In fact, ample evidence exists that vines have been cultivated and wine produced in Morocco since the time of the Romans.
Domaine de Sahari was established at the beginning of the 20th century in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Beginning in 1994, winemaker Pierre Castel took over Domaine de Sahari and has worked to establish the property as the countries premier wine estate.
The vineyards are situated at the base of the Atlas mountain range at an altitude of 600 meters in chalky-clay soils. This terroir provides cooler temperatures, allowing for plenty of freshness and acidity in the grapes, while simultaneously permitting optimal ripening conditions. All grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, then fermented in stainless steel.
The 2021 Domaine de Sahari Vin Gris possesses a beautiful pink hue. On the nose and palate, the wine is bright and refreshing, with lip-smacking acidity. Floral-tinged aromas of strawberries and peaches follow on the generous palate, along with notes of Honeydew melon, hints of stony minerality, and a hit of baking spice on the long, zippy finish. This is absolutely killer rosé, people!
So go ahead folks and "ROCK THE CASBAH!!" with a six-pack or two of the 2021 Domaine de Sahari Vin Gris du Maroc Rosé. Enjoy this noteworthy, top-notch pink on its own or paired with anything from salads and light pasta dishes to cheese platters and barbecued ribs.
