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
