- Vibrant, fruity aromas of raspberries and blackcurrant are supported by a wisp of vanilla. Powerful, rich, and complex, with balanced and mellow tannins that get softer with time, taking on leathery and cedar characters. Lovely long finish. A 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.

A Bordeaux blend with a splash of Mediterranean sunshine. Full-bodied, filled notes of red and black fruit, cedar, and bell peppers. The best-selling cuvée that celebrates its centenary in 2021. Chateau Rouge is a homage to Lebanon’s Jesuit and Francophone legacy. A Bordeaux blend with a dash of Mediterranean sunshine and the ability to age for decades
The grapes are destemmed, fermented separately at between 28 and 30°C, and left for between 14 to 30 days before malolactic fermentation and transfer to French barrels, of which 50% are new oak, for 12 months, before blending and bottling. The wines are then aged for a further two years in our famous Roman caves.

| Winery | 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 sulphur-based pesticides. |
