What are the most popular Lebanese wines?
When diving into Lebanese wines, you'll be greeted with a rich array of choices. The country's flagship grape, Obeideh, alongside Merwah, are indigenous varieties that produce delightful whites with subtle, nuanced flavors. However, Lebanese reds, predominantly crafted from blends involving Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cinsault, have gained significant international acclaim. The Bekaa Valley stands as the epicenter of production, with its wines characterized by bold flavors, profound depth, and impeccable structure. Château Musar, for instance, has become an iconic representation of Lebanese wine on the global stage, celebrated for its complex, age-worthy reds.

However, Château Musar's vintages, particularly from the 1990s and early 2000s, are renowned for their aging potential and intricate flavor profiles, drawing comparisons with top Bordeaux wines. Ixsir's EL wines, both red and white, showcase the elegance Lebanese wines can achieve, with their harmonious balance and depth. Château Ksara's Comte de M, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, is another gem, known for its rich, velvety texture and complex aromatics. While these wines represent the pinnacle of Lebanese wine-making, it's essential to remember that the beauty of Lebanese wines lies in their diversity, with every bottle offering a unique taste of this ancient wine-producing nation.
