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:  This wine is obtained by bleeding after a short period of cold maceration. Sedimentation and fermentation are carried out at 18°C. The wine is racked off to avoid malolactic fermentation. It is fined and then stabilised by refrigeration before being bottled as quickly as possible.

Tasting Note: An aromatic nose of berries, vine flowers, peony and a touch of jasmine. Fresh and light, it is vivid, elegant and harmonious.

Every day serving suggestion: Chilled at 8-10°C on its own or with light meals, fresh salads, white meats and fish. A perfect spring/summer wine.
