Uncover the Secrets of Levant Wines: The Cradle of Viticulture! 🍇✨

Did you know the Levant region, which includes countries like Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine, is considered the birthplace of viticulture? Its rich wine history dates back over six millennia, long before many classic European regions. This ancient land has shown remarkable resilience, preserving its winemaking tradition through the rise and fall of empires and wars.

Today, the Levant is experiencing a significant renaissance, driven by a new generation of producers who blend ancestral practices with contemporary advancements in viticulture and enology. The region's diverse terroir is a unique mosaic of Mediterranean, continental, and high-altitude climates, featuring varied soils like limestone, clay, and basalt, and a topography of mountains, valleys, and plains. This singularity profoundly shapes every grape.

You'll find a rich tapestry of grape varieties here:

• Indigenous: Such as the elegant Obaideh and Merwah from Lebanon, and Baladi from Palestine. These native varieties represent invaluable genetic heritage with unique enological potential.

• International: Grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive, expressing themselves uniquely in this terroir, often with ripe fruit concentration and mineral touches.

Countries like Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan are leading this resurgence, focusing on quality and innovation. Levant wines are gaining international recognition, with prestigious awards and critical acclaim, and enotourism is flourishing, inviting discovery into these historic vineyards.

Join us on a sensory journey through centuries of history and culture, reflected in every glass.
