Winemaking & Tasting Notes

This wine is a blend of noble varietals and a variety exclusively planted in Lebanon by Karam Wines. Planted in the Jezzine area, between 800 to 1,300 meter elevation, a region known historically for producing exquisite grapes. The low-yield vines are handpicked and vinified using a combination of ancestral skills and upto- date knowledge in the art of winemaking. Harmony between Nature, Earth and Man is delicately displayed in this rare and complex wine, resulting in an aromatic, superbly balanced and structured supple wine with impressive ageing potential.
