Carignan - Grenache Rosé Blend 2019

@delectable this is neve yarak winery's rose 2019

i was lucky to join granache plantings in neve yarak winery - a small boutique winery in central israel with vinyards on flat land.

hard laboring planting the american root stocks left my leg muscles hurting for a few days but every time ill pass the close by highway road I'll enjoy the memory. and i got this rose...

65% carignan
35% grenache

vineyards are 39 years old.
oak fermentation.

12% ABV

pale pink 👀

some greeness and funk first. followed by unripe strawberry and raspberry, lemon and grapefruit peel👃

medium body.
medium + acidity.

creamy red fruit and citrus with added funk, green leaves variety and some dust 👄

medium 🎯

pleasent tartness with an edge. very drinkable. balanced and complex.
lovely high powered rose.
feels right.

ok vfm (110 nis or a few hours of hard work). better value with imported rose's but this is an enjoyable local choice.

paired well with ok-ish delivery pizza. one mushrooms topped with terrible 'tartufo oil' and the second with caramelised onions and balsamic vinaigrette.
