Alcohol: 13.5%
Notes: Our 1st completely unoaked Syrah produces a clean, elegant wine with perfect varietal expression. On the nose black pepper dominates with black fruit & hints of violet. The palate emphasizes the fruitiness. Velvety yet well structured tannins.
Label: Middle Eastern mosaic to indicate the origin of the wine: Lebanon. The colors are based on the aromatic profile of the grape variety and the lack of the wood texture indicates that the wine has not been oaked. Designed by Tarek Atrissi.

Notes: … and here it is… our first single-varietal Tempranillo, the Spanish variety that, it’s been claimed, was planted in the Iberian Peninsula by our ancestors the ancient Phoenicians thousands of years ago.
Let me say right away I’m hooked; dare I say it’s my new favourite?
This is lusciously delicious.
How to describe it? Floral, herbal, leafy with strong notes of black cherry.
There’s a wonderfully mysterious quality about it that I find utterly captivating.
Our first Tempranillo certainly won’t be our last… It will definitely feature regularly in our portfolio.
