You probably know Xinomavro by now. How about Cinsaut (or Cinsault)? First of all, it is pronounced Sanso. French red variety, resistant to high temperatures. Particularly widespread in Languedoc Roussillon in southern France but also in South Africa where it goes under the name Hermitage. Slowly it has gained a share of the world cake because if you search a bit more, it has more than 50 different names in its cultivation around the world. In Greece, its appearances are still limited.
On the other hand, you may have realized that the seven-member family of Dimitris Koutsoukis is not an ordinary family. They continue to work wonders in Oraiokastro, Thessaloniki, daring to experiment with varieties and ways of winemaking. The small boutique Kamara Winery exhibits enviable boldness and stability in the production of small diamonds, hard to find outside of Thessaloniki. Besides, it is no coincidence that Dimitris abandoned a very successful career to devote himself to wine.
Time to introduce the Rose Domaine Kamara 2016. New look, new blend. Cinsault was added for the first time in its composition, although they have been experimenting with it for years. The result is a wonderful rosé passepartout wine, which will steal the show in every circumstance.
The two varieties are cultivated in the family owned vineyard in the area of Melissochori, favored by the special microclimate of the region. With a provocative bright color, light-hearted character and the makings of a world-class rose wine, Domaine Kamara Rose 2016 is about to become one of the greatest summer hits.
Why did we call it passepartout? Do you want to enjoy it on its own? Perfect! Do you want to combine it with seafood or fish? It will amaze you! Want it with pasta with red sauces or meat with light sauces? Put aside the red. This rose will excite you!
We will definitely take it on holidays with us this year. It will be of use somewhere.
