The vineyards are located in the Western Bekaa region of Lebanon at a high altitude of 1,050m above sea level.<\/p>\n
The blend of Syrah, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Carignan grapes from 15 to 20-year-old vines, grown in sandy limestone soils with clay subsoils and dry-farmed, produces a wine that reflects the unique terroir of the region.<\/p>\n
The grapes are harvested by hand with intensive selection in the vineyards and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats for 10 days.<\/p>\n
The malo-lactic fermentation is spontaneous, and the wine is blended and aged in concrete vats.<\/p>\n
The resulting wine is 14.5% vol. alcohol strength and is a true expression of the Bekaa Valley, with ripe dark fruit flavors balanced by a vibrant, juicy core that reflects the hot, dry days and cool nights of the region.<\/p>\n
Overall, it is a delicious and intriguing wine that showcases the unique character of Lebanese winemaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
