Product Notes

IXSIR Grande Reserve Red wine, hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Lebanon, offers a delightful melange of aromatic complexity bound to intrigue the discerning palate. Intricate notes of ripe fruit, cocoa, and spices render this exquisite blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Arinarnoa extraordinary. Aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, the tipple reveals robust flavours, delicately balanced with velvety tannins. The wine's maturity imparts an appealing mellowness, while its deep garnet hue alludes to its richness. Overall, the IXSIR Grande Reserve Red wine is a harmonious fusion of complexity, sophistication and warm Mediterranean character.

Tasting Notes

There are intense notes of dark fruits and cocoa across the nose. We recognise the characteristics of a Mediterranean vintage: round and warm, with a mouth‐filling outburst. It's a well‐balanced wine with a touch of sweetness that lasts in the mouth. Throughout the tasting, we notice notes of tobacco, cocoa, and black fruit, which are consistent with the nose.
