Winemaking & Tasting Notes

Four carefully selected varietals are grown on a mosaic of terroirs, on the slopes of the Jezzine mountain ridge, situated at 1,300-meter altitude in Southern Lebanon. The Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, come together in an uncommon blend, a subtle liquid work of art, with a wide spectrum of aromas and a supremely velvety palate. This unfiltered wine offers outstanding balance and structure, making it perfect for ageing or immediate enjoyment. In the aft palate, it offers fruit-filled length.

Food Pairing: Gravy dishes of duck, lamb and hard cheeses

Chateau Ksara's Merwah is a profound and ancient expression of Lebanon's formidable terroir. Made from 60-year-old vines, grown on the terraced hill of the tiny, North Lebanese village of Douma at over 1,500 meters, giving freshness and flavor intensity to the fruit. It is hand harvested at very low yields in the mid-October and vinified with minimal intervention.

The Merwah's rounded character and inherent complexity allows it to be enjoyed alone or with food.
