Rashi Light Pink Concord is a semi-sweet, light-bodied kosher wine made from Concord grapes at just 6.0% ABV in a 750ml bottle.

Production & Heritage

Rashi Wine is an Italian-based kosher wine producer with production facilities in both New York and California. This particular expression draws from Concord grapes grown in New York State, a region with deep historical ties to Concord grape cultivation. The Light Pink Concord is vinified to preserve the grape's naturally sweet, jammy character while keeping the alcohol level at a restrained 6.0%, significantly below the 12–14% range typical of most still wines.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with bright ripe berries and a gentle floral lift. Beneath that initial burst, subtle hints of raisins and sweet prune emerge as the wine breathes.

Taste: On the palate, the entry is soft and semi-sweet with juicy Concord grape flavor front and center. The mid-palate reveals layers of caramel and a whisper of mocha, while the overall body stays light and easy to drink.

Finish: The finish is short to medium, with lingering berry sweetness and a clean, refreshing fade. There is no harshness or tannic grip — just a gentle, fruity close.

How to Drink Light Pink Concord

Serve well chilled, between 40–45°F, to bring out the wine's crispness and keep the sweetness balanced. It drinks beautifully on its own as a standalone sipper. For a refreshing Wine Spritzer, combine with sparkling water and a lemon twist to lighten the body further. It also works in a Concord Sangria, mixed with fresh seasonal fruit and a splash of citrus juice to amplify its berry character. For a simple warm-weather punch, blend it with ginger ale and frozen berries for a crowd-friendly Grape Punch.

Why Light Pink Concord?

The defining feature of this wine is its 6.0% ABV, which places it in rare territory among still wines and makes it genuinely distinct from competitors bottled at standard strength. For kosher wine drinkers who want sweetness without the alcohol weight, there are very few alternatives that hit this mark. The Concord grape itself carries deep cultural significance in American kosher winemaking, and Rashi's expression captures the varietal's unmistakable grapey sweetness in a lighter, more modern format. It fills a specific niche — low-alcohol, kosher, semi-sweet, and pink — that few other producers address directly.
