Food Matching Note:
Rounded and soft with ripe fruit, this wine is an excellent choice to accompany gamey flavours, soft mature cheese or mushrooms. Surprisingly, this wine is a great complement to Piemontese or Tuscan cuisine.
Tasting Note:
A slightly tiled ruby red colour. Subtle notes of ripe red fruits and walnuts, with notes of cherries, crystallized plums, spices, leather and burned wood. The nose is clear, flawless, delicate and elegant. This wine is well-structured, well-balanced and round, displaying red fruit notes with dominant plum and spices.
Vinification Note:
Harvesting of the grapes is exclusively by hand. As the winery is situated at the centre of the domain the grapes are brought to the winery within minutes, an absolute necessity for keeping the fruit characteristics in the heat of Lebanon. The grapes are crushed into steel vats where fermentation is begun with a selected yeast culture and a 4-5 week maceration period. Fermentation is controlled at a temperature of 25/35°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and barrels where the wine ages before bottling at the château.
