Product Notes

Ixsir Altitudes Red Wine is a sublime blend from Lebanon, combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Caladoc varieties. Unveiling rich complexity, it brings forward vibrant, ripe fruit flavours intertwined with subtle spice undertones and a touch of vanilla. Its deep ruby hue presages robust tannins and a full-bodied finish. Aged in French oak barrels, the Ixsir Altitudes holds a perfect balance of strength and elegance. Every drop conveys the sundrenched Mediterranean hillsides, producing a delightful drinking experience. A great companion for red meats and strong cheeses, this wine is an indulgence reserved for the discerning palate.

Aromas of red fruits, gooseberries, and raspberries abound on the nose. It is indeed an elegant and pleasant wine with a graceful body and remarkable softness that lingers throughout the tasting. From start to finish, it is full and round.
