Why Maison? |
While French loving wineries in Lebanon tend to call their high-end wines “Château”, we always preferred the warmth of a family House, to the cold emptiness of a manor. When the time came to find a name for our house wine, a delicious blend of Syrah and Cinsaut, I simply opted for “Maison” (French for “house”). – Captain Habib Karam |

Winemaking & Tasting Notes |
Our aim is to produce a red wine that would be enjoyed within a year of its birth, while also having serious potential for ageing. This wine can be enjoyed in winter at room temperature or chilled during summertime. The varietals grown at high altitudes are handpicked and vinified using special techniques, culminating in a fresh, fruity, supple wine with soft tannins. |
