Product Notes

Ixsir Altitudes White wine is a splendid blend from Lebanon, beautifully showcasing its unique terroir. It enchants the senses with an enthralling aromatic bouquet of exotic fruits, entwined with floral notes. The palate is treated to a satisfying balance of crisp freshness and rich, velvety textures. These engaging flavours seamlessly interweave, revealing a distinct harmony. Aged carefully in French oak barrels, it develops an added layer of smoky depth. It is elegantly structured and finishes with impressive length. The Ixsir Altitudes White, a truly distinctive expression of Eastern Mediterranean viticulture, is an undeniable pleasure.

Tasting Notes

The wine has a straw yellow color with pale green reflections. The nose is discreet but animated by citrus notes. The Obeidi is an indigenous grape varietal from Lebanon, known for imparting roundness and complexity to the mouthfeel. The aftertaste lingers with a refreshing sensation, and towards the end, the flavors of Muscat peek out delicately.
