DAOU Vineyards Journey Bodyguard Red 2022

DAOU Vineyards Journey Bodyguard Red 2022

The Bodyguard Collection is inspired by the personal journey of brothers Georges and Daniel Daou. Each Bodyguard wine is made in tribute to their mother Marie, who safeguarded them through times of trial. When the young brothers were gravely injured by a missile strike at the start of the Lebanese Civil War, it was Marie who helped lead the family to safety in France. She imparted the love, hope and strength that would ultimately enable Georges and Daniel to follow their dreams to DAOU Mountain.
