Winemaking & Tasting Notes
For the first time, Château Heritage introduces its wine called “9” to be a true representation of a Lebanese wine; the real taste of Lebanon using the nine red grape varieties of the Bekaa-Valley. Château Heritage used primarily Cinsault that gave this wine its warmth and softness; Cabernet-Sauvignon and Syrah that gave it its structure, color and freshness; and the other six varieties being present in small quantities played the role of “salt and pepper”. The cocktail of the 9-grapes gives this wine a taste of ripe plums with fruit flavors and tobacco.
Food Pairing
Grilled Red and White Meats and dishes containing peppery sauces.
