Cloud Nine White Wine

Karam Cloud Nine White Wine

Why Cloud Nine?

like to reflect sitting in my garden in Jezzine, glass of wine in hand. I keep having the same flashbacks to defining moments during my early years as a pilot. Most of my fond memories took place in my favorite bar Cloud Nine, located in the heart of Beirut. Being there at that time gave me a lot of pleasure and after blending my dry white wine, drinking it gave me similar pleasure. It was then that I decided to name it “Cloud Nine”. As a pilot, the clouds were my second home and my lucky number is nine. Everything fit! I hope this fresh, crisp, fruity and dry white wine will give you equally pleasurable moments. Have a sip, close your eyes and enjoy it! – Captain Habib Karam

Said Touma came from a family with a long history in the alcohol business and founded Clos St. Thomas in 1997. The winery was named after the chapel of St. Thomas, found in the heart of the vineyards.

Arak Touma is distilled four times using a variety of grapes and quality aniseed.

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.

53% ABV.

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
