Lebanon, Bekaa Valley
Description
Merwah is an ancient white grape, which is given profound expression by Lebanon’s formidable terroir. It had been used in winemaking and arak production for centuries, and it is a grape with which the Jesuits who founded Château Ksara in the mid-18th century would have been familiar when they pioneered viniculture in the Bekaa Valley.
The Merwah is a hardy, long-ripening grape that delivers body, flavour and texture with good acidity. Château Ksara’s Merwah is made from 60-year-old vines, grow on pre-Phyloxerra rootstock in the North Lebanese village of Douma at 1,500 meters.
