Why Les Raretés?

From the womb of our efforts to diversify the taste of Lebanese wine, the selection of Les Raretés was born. It comprises varietals that are solely planted in Lebanon by Karam Wines; undoubtedly others will follow suit. Their scarcity earned them their name: Les Raretés. –Captain Habib Karam

Why Albariño?

In Captain Karam’s endless educational travels to winemaking countries and its different regions, he discovered Albariño and realized instantly it would feel right in the damp high altitude,sea-breezed vineyards of Jezzine, where it can develop outstanding freshness and varietal definition.

Winemaking & Tasting Notes

After being handpicked and vinified, this wine is aged for a further six-months in oak barrels to develop a rounded structure and complexity to complement the grape’s natural freshness. The result is a wine in which the exotic pineapple, passion fruit, oak vanilla and Williams pear aromas are in pleasing harmony with the mouthwatering acidity, reflecting the profound and ancient terroir of Southern Lebanon. Albariño
can be drunk young and has good ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with all content-types of pasta with white sauce, white meat, cooked fish or sushi

Arak Massaya has a beguiling aniseed flavor and freshness that cleans the palate and aids digestion. It is often served as an aperitif and then as the perfect accompaniment to classic selections of mezze, the array of tasty dishes with contrasting flavours that is the starting point for many lunchtime or evening meals.

Arak works particularly well with the mezze melange that will include olives, spices, meat and cheese flavors that are sometimes harder to match with wine.
