Lebanese wine

How to choose Lebanese wine by taste

Although Lebanon is one of the oldest winemaking regions, its style has been heavily influenced by French winemaking traditions. To choose the best option, pay attention to these types:

• Rich red: Lebanon is especially famous for its expressive red wines. These are usually blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan, and Syrah grapes. They stand out with dark berry, spice, and cedar notes, along with firm tannins.
• Aromatic white: For those seeking freshness, it is worth trying white wines made from Chardonnay, Viognier, or the local Obaideh and Merwah grapes. They feature floral aromas, fruitiness, and a pleasant texture.

What food to pair with Lebanese wine

Due to their expressive character, these wines are excellent companions for food:

• Grilled dishes, lamb, beef: The structured and spicy red wines of the Bekaa Valley pair perfectly with these meats.
• Middle Eastern cuisine, hummus, vegetables: Aromatic whites and lighter rosés will perfectly complement traditional mezze appetizers.
