This extraordinary old vine wine comes from 50 year old vines in the Bekaa valley and is wonderfully unique.
The grapes are hand picked and fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats for ten days. Malolactic fermentation begins spontaneously. The wine is then aged for 1 year in concrete and then spends a further 6 months in used French oak barrels to round out the tannins. The result is a supple wine that beautifully reflects the terroir of the Bekaa Valley, with an aging potential of several years.
Ripe fig, bright red cherry and plum fruit with star anise spice on the nose, it’s lifted and pronounced. The palate is full of ripe red fruit characters alongside fig and spice notes. The acidity and tannin perfectly balances the generous flavours and leaves a pure, clean finish.
