Food Matching Note:
Will complement rich, gamey meats and mature hard cheese. Perfect with a rare sirloin steak or pan fried lamb cutlet. Also shows well with spicy red meat dishes or game with fruit based sauces.
Tasting Note:
Announced by a beautiful, bright dark colour as well as a distinguished and intense bouquet of cooked fruits, menthol and toasty cedar. An open and generous wine with black fruit and menthol flavours supported by firm, silky tannins and integrated French oak.
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 5 week maceration period. Fermentation is controlled at a temperature of 28/35°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and new French oak barrels where the wine ages for 12 months before bottling at the château.
