Producer Details
Château Ksara is Lebanon’s oldest and largest winery and its establishment laid the foundations for the country’s modern wine industry. It is situated in the heart of the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon’s preeminent wine-producing region. Winemaking began in 1857 when the estate was inherited by Jesuit monks, who began farming a 27-hectare plot of land where they produced Lebanon’s first dry red wine. In 1973 the Vatican encouraged its missions and monasteries around the world to divest of any commercial ventures, by which point Château Ksara already had an annual production of 1.5 million bottles. Identifying Ksara’s potential, a consortium of forward-thinking local Lebanese businessmen purchased the estate and set about investing in the vineyards and the cellars. Ksara has a broad portfolio, including French-inspired blends from the French colonial era and more modern styles, including a white that uses the ancient native grape Merwah. Today they are one of the best known and loved Lebanese producers in the UK market and a staple for any top Lebanese restaurant list.
