Product Notes

Ixsir El Ixsir Red is a Lebanese wine that encompasses a seamless blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes offering an engagingly vigorous and full palate. The wine emanates an exquisite aroma of dark berries and plum alongside a pleasant undercurrent of vanilla and oak. Infused with rich, velvety tannins and deep colour, El Ixsir Red has an intense flavour, expertly balancing sweetness and acidity. Its age-worthy properties and full-bodied character make it an excellent accompaniment to robust meat dishes. Aged in French oak barrels, this undoubtedly sophisticated vintage brings a tasteful opulence to any occasion.

Tasting Notes

A deep purple-ruby color. Nice complexity of aromas with red fruits, blackberry liqueur, touches of incense, and notes of mint and cedar sap. The palate a continuation of the nose, suave and intense, with a nice mineral tension characteristic of great limestone terroirs. A fresh finish and an extended length which reveals a great aging aptitude
