Couvent Rouge Winery

Couvent Rouge was established in 2010, as a cooperative project. Founded in 1999, the cooperative’s purpose was to replace illicit cannabis plantations with noble vine grapes plantations; and later to create their own wines instead of selling grapes

Description

Couvent Rouge Pet Nat Gold 2020

Grape varietal & region: Grapes from Deir El Ahmar vineyards which has a Mediterranean and a semi-continental climate characterized by cold and rainy winters and hot and dry summers. Wines are made under the Ancestral Method. Left on lees for months and disgorged. First Lebanese PetNat, sourced from the elevated Deir El Ahmar organic grapes, and proudly produced at the Couvent Rouge winery.

Unfiltered wine made with specially selected Sauvignon Blanc and Obeidi. Brilliant yellow gold, it’s floral and ethereal at the same time, where tupelo honey and lemon flower aromas entice but don’t overwhelm. Refreshing and citrusy on the palate. This Wine is a must drink with any dish that includes saffron.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
