Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
A characterful, rustic red from one of Lebanon's most established estates, this old vine Carignan shows the grape's naturally high acidity kept in check by the concentration and depth that only aged vines can deliver. Expect dried red and dark fruit, herbal garrigue notes, and a peppery, earthy finish typical of the Bekaa Valley's continental climate and sun-baked terroir. It's an honest, food-friendly wine with Mediterranean soul — better suited to the table than solo sipping.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
