Winemaking & Tasting Notes

This wine is a blend of noble varietals and a variety exclusively planted in Lebanon by Karam Wines. Planted in the Jezzine area, between 800 to 1,300 meter elevation, a region known historically for producing exquisite grapes. The low-yield vines are handpicked and vinified using a combination of ancestral skills and upto- date knowledge in the art of winemaking. Harmony between Nature, Earth and Man is delicately displayed in this rare and complex wine, resulting in an aromatic, superbly balanced and structured supple wine with impressive ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Stews, roasts, steaks and hard cheeses

Winemaking: The grapes are manually harvested, totally stemmed and transferred to tank in order to achieve the alcoholic fermentation. The Cinsault is shortly vatted to keep the freshness, the Syrah and Mourvedre are kept for a longer time to extract the aroma and spices, and the Cabernet-Sauvignon undergoes long skin contact to express length and elegance. The free flowing and press wine achieve the malolactic fermentation in different vats.

Maturing: The grape varietals are matured separately in vats for 14 to 18 months before being blended, fined and bottled. Taste: Its bright intense ruby red colour, with an exotic fruity aroma along with spicy and licorice notes make it a wine to remember. The mellow and supple tannins produce a persisting length on the Palate Ageing It can be drunk upon purchase or kept for 2 to 3 years in a good cellar.

Serving: Its easy flowing taste suits daily consumption and goes along very well with leg of lamb and stew

Almaza Pilsner Beer includes delicate aromas of grain and corn waft from the glass. And that’s not really surprising, when you discover that the brewery states “corn makes up to 25%” of the grain bill. But give the beer a few vigorous swirls to bring some of its head back. And you’ll soon discover that it also brings light notes of honey and flora, with grassy hints.

That light, delicate character also carries into Almaza Pilsener Beer’s flavor.
