Lebanon

Known since antiquity, Lebanon wines offer a truly remarkable drinking experience. This Middle Eastern country, nestled between Syria and Israel, has a venerated history of viticulture that dates back 5,000 years. Indeed, the Phoenicians, an ancient Lebanese civilisation, were instrumental in spreading winemaking across the Mediterranean, making Lebanon one of the oldest wine-producing countries in existence.

The geography and climate of this nation are particularly suitable for viniculture. Lebanon's position at the intersection of the Mediterranean Sea's refreshing breezes and the rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Bekaa Valley creates a unique environment for grapes. This diverse topography gives Lebanese wine an unrivalled complexity, depth, and character that has captivated wine connoisseurs worldwide.

The wines produced here are far-reaching in their variety and intricacy. A broad array of grapes including French stalwarts such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay have found a new home in this ancient land. Yet, the star of the show is an indigenous grape, Obaidi, contributing to the indigenous character of many Lebanese wines.

Within this appeal, there's a certain resilience that defines Lebanon's wine industry, with vineyards and wineries persevering through the challenging times - from wars to economic struggles. It's this determination that contributes to the undeniable allure of Lebanese wine.

In terms of taste, these wines offer an exciting crossroads between old and new world styles. They are often marked by a refined balance between ripe fruitiness and nuanced earthiness, making them ideal partners for a variety of savoury dishes.

Whether you opt for a deep, rich red or a crisp, aromatic white, Lebanese wine invites you into a world of flavours that have been centuries in the making. Their resurgence in today's wine scene is a testament to the nation's remarkable history and wineproducing prowess. It's an age-old tradition distilled into a glass, promising an intriguing, multi-layered journey that continues to challenge, excite and captivate.
