Buy Château Ksara Réserve du Couvent 2020 – Tasting Notes
Aged for six months in second-year French oak barrels, this vintage reveals an inviting deep purple colour that hints at the intensity of flavours within. The nose and palate open with ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum fruits, layered alongside subtle nuances of strawberry, cherry, and bell pepper.
Mid-palate, the wine expresses savoury, meaty undertones that create complexity, balanced beautifully by smooth tannins and a velvety texture. The oak aging contributes delicate notes of vanilla and a lingering hint of black pepper on the finish, resulting in a wine that is rich, layered, and exceptionally balanced.

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 pre-eminent 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 worldwide 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 from 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. |
