This fruity and smooth white wine comes from the indigenous Lebanese grapes Obeidy which are planted at an elevation of 4,101 feet in a dry climate. The grapes are handpicked and lightly pressed then fermented in stainless steel tanks. Our obeidy will take you on a journey to the early Phoenician world where it was first discovered and exported to the rest of the Mediterranean countries.

Vinification

During the fermentation in conical stainless steel tanks, extreme attention was given to an extraction aimed at fresh and fragrant aromas, full colors, and supple, elegant textures and tannins. Once the wine had been run off its skins at the end of the fermentation, it was put through a full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels to fully bring out the finesse and expressiveness of the aromas. The aging process, which lasted approximately 12-14 months, then began and took place in 60 gallon French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly used once previously.
