Product Notes

Château Ksara Le Prieuré is a wonderfully enticing Lebanese wine. Its exquisitely complex composition reflects its Bekaa Valley origin—a Mediterranean region known for viticulture since antiquity. The wine is a blend of Cinsault, Carignan, and Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it a deeply rich red colour and full-bodied taste. First impressions on the nose are of ripe red fruits, evolving into spiced notes of cinnamon. Smooth on the palate, the hints of mature tannins are balanced by a delightful freshness, leading into a lingering finish. This wine is perfect for any lover of deep, robust reds.

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.
