Just like the African Bush, don’t come to the Egyptian Desert without it.

Celebrating the ending of a great trip on the eve of our last day at The Old Cataract on the Nile River with one of our very favorite N/V Rosé Champange’s.

Photos of; the pano view of the Nile River from our terrace, Sofia holding our other 375ml bottle BSR we brought from the US, the lobby of the Old Cataract and the grounds of the Old Cataract Hotel.

The nose shows nice spring & yellow fragrant floral fruits of; lemon, green melon, lime, white peach, grapefruit & pineapple. Honey notes, beeswax, vanillin with beautiful, delicate soft minerality and chalkiness.

The body is full, lush and rich. Fruits are; lemon, green melon, lime, white peach, passion fruit, grapefruit & pineapple. Honey notes, beeswax, vanillin with beautiful, more pronounced delicate soft minerality and chalkiness, a touch of white spice with spring & yellow fragrant florals. The acidity is round and really good. The rich, balanced, well polished finish is delicious. Nice Egyptian white.

Photos of; the night view of Cairo & the Nile River from our balcony (@RyanVento since you asked about the hotel), our visit to Giza; Giza Pyramid, the famous Sphinx and a pano of all three Pyramids in Giza.
