Mony Caladoc Rosé 2024, Judean Hills, Israel 🇮🇱

Overview
100% Caladoc (Grenache × Malbec crossing). A structurally serious grape rarely seen as a standalone rosé. Grown in the Judean Hills and crafted into an unexpectedly balanced, food-driven rosé. A wine that proves technique can tame phenolic power into elegance.

Aromas & Flavors
Wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, pomegranate skin, subtle red currant, faint herbal lift, and a mineral undertone. Hints of blood orange zest on the finish.

Mouthfeel
Medium body for a rosé, noticeable structure yet polished. Bright acidity carries the wine, while the phenolic grip adds backbone without aggression. Clean, persistent finish with savory tension.

Food Pairings
Grilled Mediterranean fish, tuna tartare, roasted vegetables, lamb kebabs, shakshuka, or mezze spreads.

Verdict
A rosé with intent. Not poolside Provence vibes, this is structured, gastronomic, and thoughtfully made. A technical achievement considering Caladoc’s tannic potential. Simply delicious and confidently different.

Did You Know?
Caladoc was created in France in 1958 as a crossing of Grenache and Malbec. It’s known for deep color and firm structure, making rosé production a true balancing act.

🍷 Personal Pick
A rosé that makes you think before you sip again. Structured yet joyful, a Judean Hills interpretation that elevates what rosé can be.
