ABOUT
Made with grapes that hark back to the Château Ksara’s origins and fermented in the concrete tanks built by the Jesuits, this medium-bodied, unoaked wine, which can be served slightly chilled, is filled with an exotic fruity aroma along with spicy and licorice notes and spice of the Bekaa Valley.
A truly versatile, flavorsome and complex wine to delight the palate, one that can be served as an aperitif or with food. Balanced, with crisp acidity, lush fruit and a rounded body, the oak-aged Chardonnay gives structure, finesse and elegance, while the Sauvignon delivers freshness, and the Semillon provides the generous and rich mouth-feel. Serve slightly chilled.
