Why Syrah de Nicolas? |
God blessed me with three children. My first born is Nicolas, named after my Father – God rest his soul and after whom this bottle was named. My son is known to have the purest heart and warmest personality. This Jezzine-grown Syrah emulates Nicolas’ character: smooth tannins, full body and good longevity. – Captain Habib Karam |

Winemaking & Tasting Notes |
The unique altitude terroir, at 1,300 meters, of the Jezzine valley has yielded a supreme Syrah that is handpicked, vinified and aged in oak barrels for twelve months. The result is a wine of a deep ruby red hue with notes of ripe fruits, cassis, licorice and supple, beautifully structured tannins, and lingering length. This profoundly pleasurable wine is suitable for ageing or present enjoyment. |
