Domaine Wardy Château les Cèdres hails from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are grown on limestone & gravel soils. The grapes are handpicked before being crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with skin maceration. Maturation takes place in french oak barrels for about a year and a half to soften the tannins and acquire added complexity of oak spice. The resulting wine has a velvety mouthfeel with black fruits and notes of black pepper, incense and cinnamon.

Ixsir Grande Réserve Red bold, dry, red wine with a full body and ripe grippy tannins allied to baked black fruit and dark chocolate notes. Ixsir, meaning elixir in Arabic, is made from Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes grown in a number of sites across Lebanon. Although the local climate is hot, all of the vineyards are located above 5,500 feet above sea level, bringing freshness to the wine from this cooling influence. The winemaking involves 12 months maturation in French oak, roughly half of which is new, resulting in marked, toasted oak chocolate notes. This wine is a good choice for drinekrs who enjoy premium Southern Rhone appellations who are looking for a change of pace.
