The story
Ancient roots
French influence
Wartime resilience
While ancient Phoenicians were trading wine eons ago, the modern identity here is distinctly cosmopolitan. Jesuits brought serious winemaking knowledge in the 19th century, introducing French classics like Cinsault and Carignan to the high-altitude Bekaa Valley. Despite civil wars and conflicts, winemakers persevered, harvesting grapes under shelling to keep the tradition alive. It is a story of resilience bottled in glass, mixing French technique with Levantine soul.

Why it's special
High altitude
Savory spice
Levantine character
Resilience tastes delicious here. You are drinking history that refused to be interrupted by bombs or blockade. High altitudes in the Bekaa Valley provide cool nights that preserve acidity, preventing these powerful reds from becoming jammy fruit bombs. They possess a savory, spicy edge - think garrigue herbs meets cigar box - that you simply cannot find elsewhere. It is that distinctive "Levantine thumbprint" on classic international grapes.
