A biodynamic Cabernet Franc from Sept, grown on the ancestral terraces of the Western hillsides of Mount Lebanon — a wine that magically mixes fruitiness and minerality in a genuinely oriental expression of a French variety that feels completely at home in Lebanese limestone.
Tasting Notes
The fruit of ancient terraces on the Western slopes of Mount Lebanon. The nose carries the classic Cabernet Franc profile of red fruit, green herb, and mineral depth, but the Lebanese limestone and biodynamic farming add a distinctive Mediterranean character. The mouth mixes fruitiness and minerality beautifully — an oriental Cabernet Franc that surprises with how naturally the variety belongs here.
