Description

"Filled with lovely redcurrant and plum fruit, supported by spice and chocolate, with a bright, fresh acidity."

This wildly intense red comes from gnarly 19-year old vines in the majestic Bekaa Valley, home to Lebanon’s finest wines. Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon make up the blend, and winemaker James Palge, who honed his skills in Bordeaux, lets each grape shine. This wine is aged in French oak barrels for a year.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Château Ksara

From its founding in 1857, Château Ksara Estate lives and grows through the core values of Tradition, Nobility, and Modernity. And as the country’s oldest winery, we have made it our mission to not only continue our unique, centuries-old practice of winemaking, but to also implement the newest and most innovative processes, and continue leading the winemaking in Lebanon for generations to come.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Beqaa Valley

It is thanks to the two leading wineries of Chateau Musar and Chateau Kefraya that Lebanon is seen as a power, albeit a small one, in the wine world. These two estates have shown over the last few decades that top-quality wines that rival those of France’s best exports can be made in the hot region of Lebanon – not to mention the war that has been going on for many years now.
