Chateau Ksara Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

  • Country Lebanon
  • Region Bekaa Valley
  • Grape Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Case size 6 / 75cl
  • Dense robe, deep purple-red, a spicy nose with pepper, and notes of ripe red fruits. In the mouth, it has power and length. The firm tannins confer to the wine cedar note; still young, 
  • Ksara is now the most modern winery in the region and the largest producer in the country. Its annual production is over 2.8 million bottles, and its wines are sold in more than 40 countries worldwide.
    Château Ksara is certified in ISO 9001 and ISO 2200.00 for its viticulture, production, and sales, guaranteeing quality and consistency yearly.

Ksara's vineyards are located in the central and western Bekaa Valley at an average altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level. The Bekaa Valley enjoys dry summers and has its own natural water table, courtesy of the melting snow running off the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges. Cool nights help the vineyards withstand the summer's heat and drought. 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 used of sulphur-based pesticides. .

Winery

Château Ksara is Lebanon’s oldest and largest winery, and its establishment laid the foundations for the country’s modern wine industry. It is in the heart of the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon’s preeminent wine-producing region. Winemaking began in 1857 when the estate was inherited by Jesuit monks, who began farming a 27-hectare plot of land where they produced Lebanon’s first dry red wine. In 1973, the Vatican encouraged its missions and monasteries around the world to divest any commercial ventures, at which point Château Ksara already had an annual production of 1.5 million bottles. Identifying Ksara’s potential, a consortium of forward-thinking local Lebanese businessmen purchased the estate and invested in the vineyards and the cellars. Ksara has a broad portfolio, including French-inspired blends from the French colonial era and more modern styles, including a white that uses the ancient native grape Merwah. Today, they are among the best-known and loved Lebanese producers in the UK market and are a staple of any top Lebanese restaurant list.
