Aurora
Red WineAurora Vin de Montagne Village GSM 2022
The Village is produced from a blend of Merlot, Grenache, and Syrah grapes carefully handpicked at the beginning of September. The vineyards are located on mountainous terraces in the Batroun region of North Lebanon. First planted in 2003, these low yield vines are planted at 900m altitude from the Mediterranean Sea. Aurora practices dry farming and eco-conscious vine growing; with organic principles.
Upon arriving at the winery at dusk or sunset, the grapes are pressed and de-stemmed. The skin and juice are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 22 degrees to preserve the natural aromas of the wine.
This wine has a fruity nose with dominant flavors of mature black fruit, followed by secondary notes of chocolate. The palate has medium tannins, acidity, with a medium body. The flavours are moderately intense with ripe black fruit and hints of smoke from the barrel ageing.
