In the mouth, it has power and length. The firm tannins confer to the wine cedar note; still young, A wonderful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, a grape that has thrived in the Bekaa’s formidable terroir. The wine exhibits the typicity –the fruit and the spice – of this famous variety while being filled with the spirit and character of an ancient land and besides, the firm tannins confer to the wine cedar notes.

The deep purple hue delivers aromas and flavors of raspberries, blackcurrants, and a suggestion of vanilla, spice, and leather. In the mouth, it has richness, elegance, and length with fine, balanced tannins.

Ksara's vineyards are located in the central and western Bekaa Valley at an average altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level. The Bekaa Valley enjoys dry summers and has its natural water table, courtesy of the melting snow running off the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges. Cool nights help the vineyards to withstand the heat and drought of the summer. The vines are either double Guyot or cordon trained and are grown in stony soils which are predominantly chalk. The vineyard is not irrigated and the standard yield is between 40 and 45 hectolitres per hectare. The grapes can be considered to be grown organically because of the very limited use of sulfur-based pesticides.

Winery

Grown in one of our best-sited vineyards, the grapes are handpicked and destemmed before fermentation at 28°C, during which time there is regular remontage (pump over) and
daily assessments. Following 15 to 20 days in the tank, the free-run wine is separated from the press wine before malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak, 50% of which is new, for 12 months.
