Product Notes

Château Ksara Le Prieuré is an eminent Lebanese red wine with a splendid concentration of character. A harmonious blend of Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it releases captivating aromas of ripe fruits, cinnamon, and vanilla. Its palate reveals flavours of black cherries, plums and spices, rounded off with a perfectly balanced tannic structure. This medium-bodied wine rests elegantly with its velvety finish, making it an ideal accompaniment for red meats and cheese. It emanates from the Bekaa Valley under the expertise of Château Ksara, Lebanon's oldest winery, symbolising their dedication to crafting extraordinary wines.

Tasting Notes

Bright, intense ruby red in colour, the exotic fruit aromas combine with notes of delicate notes of spice and liquorice. A mellow wine with supple tannins, leading to a lovely long and spicy finish. Quite delicious.
