Why Les Raretés? |
From the womb of our efforts to diversify the taste of Lebanese wine, the selection of Les Raretés was born. It comprises varietals that are solely planted in Lebanon by Karam Wines; undoubtedly others will follow suit. Their scarcity earned them their name: Les Raretés. – Captain Habib Karam |

Why Albariño? |
In Captain Karam’s endless educational travels to winemaking countries and its different regions, he discovered Albariño and realized instantly it would feel right in the damp high altitude, sea-breezed vineyards of Jezzine, where it can develop outstanding freshness and varietal definition. |

Winemaking & Tasting Notes |
After being handpicked and vinified, this wine is aged for a further six-months in oak barrels to develop a rounded structure and complexity to complement the grape’s natural freshness. The result is a wine in which the exotic pineapple, passion fruit, oak vanilla and Williams pear aromas are in pleasing harmony with the mouthwatering acidity, reflecting the profound and ancient terroir of Southern Lebanon. Albariño can be drunk young and has good ageing potential |
