Karam Albarino White Wine

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

Named after François-Eugène Brun, Arak Brun might be the world’s most famous arak! Its production has been uninterrupted since the inception of the winery in 1868. It is made from the alcohol of estate grown Obeidi and Cinsault grapes, harvested at optimum ripeness, and blended with fresh anise. Since 2015, Domaine des Tourelles grows its own anise in Deir el Ahmar, a village in the district of Baalbek. Their arak is produced inside a hundred-year-old cellar, processed traditionally using a three-stage distillation in traditional alembics, and aged in clay jars.

Arak is not sweetened.

Serve with water – ice can be added.

Nevermind the sunset! Look forward to the night! Rosé has the stigma of being for the weak. We finally give you a Rosé filled the raw power of the Northern Bekaa grapes. It is the uncommon wine of Lebanon.

Taste the fruits and well balanced acidity, and dare to be as obnoxious and wild as you possibly can.

This isn’t meant for rosy sunsets, this is meant for crazed nights filled with those who dare to be Pink. Get Rosy eyes!

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
