Vinification
Old Cinsault vines, over 50 years of age, and located in Western Bekaa. 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 thatbeautifully reflects the terroir of the Bekaa Valley, with an aging potential of several years.
