Chateau Ksara is Lebanon's oldest winery. Its traditions can be traced back to 1857 when a group of Jesuit monks acquired the property. The Jesuits applied their knowledge of science and agriculture to plant French vines as well as developing two kilometers of Roman caves that proved ideal for the storage of wine. The Jesuits sold the winery to its current owners in 1973. Ksara is now the most modern winery in the region as well as the largest producer in the country. Their annual production is over 2 million bottles and they sell their wines in more than 40 countries worldwide. Chateau Ksara is certified ISO 9001:2000 for its viticulture, production, and sales guaranteeing quality and consistency year on year.

Viticulture: Vines are either double guyot or cordon trained. Their grapes can be considered to be grown organically because pesticides and herbicides are not used. No irrigation. Harvesting is done by hand. The standard yield of the vineyards is between 40 and 45 hl.

Vinification: Selected from the best vats of red grapes, this wine is obtained by bleeding. After 10-12 hours of maceration, fermentation is carried out at 18°C. Oncealcoholic fermentation is completed, the wine is racked off and sulphured to avoid malolactic fermentation. Once it has stabilised, it is bottled in the spring to preserve its ripe fruit flavours.

Tasting Note: An aroma of red berries and a hint of spiciness, with an initial roundness in the mouth, some mineral characters and finishing with a fresh and lively taste.

Every day serving suggestion: Chilled at 8-10°C as an ideal accompaniment to Mediterranean or Oriental cuisine. It also complements crudités and cold meat.
