Details
This is a unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Carignan and Syrah, made in a super light, almost Provençal style. If you love the famous wines from the south of France, then this is right up your street. It has juicy, crisp red berry and orange notes with excellent freshness and structure in the mouth. Take that, Provence!
Many of the wine world's history books will point towards the Middle East as the birthplace for winemaking. In 1888 the Touma Family established one of the first wineries and distilleries in Lebanon. As well as wine production, they also focused on Arak, a distilled spirit that falls into the anise family (Sambuca lovers take note). The Héritage winery was established in the Bekaa Valley - the source of the majority of Lebanon’s quality wine - and released its first wines in 1997. The estate's philosophy is built across four pillars; best-in-class cultivation, learning from the past, embracing technology, and passion. The majority of Château Héritage's vines are on the slopes of Mt Lebanon above the winery. This is very much the heartland of winemaking culture in Lebanon, and the Château is now producing modern, powerful styles of wine with elegance and skill that we consider to be some of the finest in the region, and by virtue, the country.
