Chardonnay, Semillon, and Sauvignon Blanc aren’t frequently blended together, but this wine from Ksara is a winner. It basically shows like a well-aged premium white Bordeaux but it’s just a blend of blancs from Lebanon.
The Chardonnay gives elegance, rich creaminess and length; the Sauvignon freshness and the Semillon texture and character. The result is a pleasing balance of citrus and stone fruit with freshness and discreet oak notes.
While it can be enjoyed alone, Blanc de Blancs is essentially a food wine and pairs best with all seafood and vegetable dishes. Best served lightly chilled.
Originating in Champagne, where both red and white grapes are used in the production of sparkling wine, the term Blanc de Blancs was originally coined to describe wines made from solely white grapes. Our Blanc de Blancs is a thrilling blend of some of the finest white grapes on our estate.
50% Sauvignon, 25% Chardonnay and 25% Semillon
Hand-picked and pressed in whole bunches. Fermentation at 18°C. The Chardonnay undergoes both fermentations in oak and then spends a further two months in the barrel before being blended with the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
