This wine’s unique bouquet can be attributed to its 100% tenor in a traditional Lebanese grape ‘Sabbaghieh’.
Grown in villagers’ gardens, ‘Sabbaghieh’ grapes deliver a wine that is dense and deep, offering the specific taste of sunny grapes. The vines are planted on terraces; and consequently the grapes are handpicked during the harvest season, which is softer on the vines and helps with the quality control, such as dismissing under ripe or rotten grapes. The sorted grapes are quickly de-stemmed and crushed. With our minimal intervention model of wine making, the must (or juice) can begin fermenting naturally within 6-12 hours. After around 5 weeks of fermentation, maturing of Jardin Secret takes place naturally by allowing the wine to rest in stainless tanks to undergo the malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in oak barrels to add complexity, reduce the acidity and round the tannins.
Technical Information
Year: 2014
Grape variety: 100% Sobbaghieh
Fermentation: In stainless steel tanks
Maturing: 6 months in second use oak barrels of 225 Liters
Alcohol content: 14%
Serving temperature: 12-18°C
Altitude: The vines are located 900 meters above sea levels. They are hand picked and sorted on the spot.
Yield: The average yield per vine doesn’t exceed 2 kilograms. The majority of our vines stretch over ancient terraced slopes and enjoy 300 days of sunshine a year.
Talking points: Sobbaghie is a Lebanese grape.
The name comes from the word “Sabbagha” which means dye/tint. In Lebanon back in the days, they used to use this grape to color vinegar or as a natural dye. Why? Because it is a grape that not only is red from the outside but is also red from the inside unlike other regular red grapes. So it is very dense in color. Till this day we are the only winery that uses this grape to produce wine. It has a very interesting bouquet and it really is something special.
