Chateau Ksara Reserve Du Couvent

Winemaking since 1857, Chateau Ksara in the Bekaa Valley is Lebanon's oldest and largest winery. Reserve du Couvent is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that spend 6 months in second-year French oak.  

A true backbone of their range, this robust wine is inspired by Northern Rhone with layered aromas of plum,  blueberry, wood, pepper and vanilla. The palate brings rounded body, supple tannins and persistence length. Try with a range of barbecued meats, rich pastas and pizzas, or hard cheeses.

Chateau Ksara have an ethos of Tradition, Nobility, and Modernity. They embrace a unique, centuries-old practice of winemaking, as well as implementing the most innovative processes to enhance their wines for contemporary times.  Highly regarded, Chateau Ksara continue to win International Awards each year. Their Bekaa Valley vineyards lie at an average altitude of 1,000 meters with a semi-continental climate. Pesticides and herbicides are not used, so the grapes are grown almost organically. The stony soils are made up of varying measures of chalk, clay and limestone.
