The nose expresses exotic fruit aromas of papaya and lemon with a touch of saltiness. Elegant and round on the palate, keeping plenty of freshness thanks to good acidity, with the balance between sun-driven sweetness and limestone-driven salinity giving the wine a strong sense of place and an inimitable taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked and sorted twice in the winery, then fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel with no oak. Harvest timing is decided remotely — grape samples from each variety and plot are sent by taxi to Beirut for tasting, since the brothers themselves manage the estate from outside Syria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine de Bargylus was founded in 2003 by brothers Karim and Sandro Saadé, with consulting winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt. There isn't another winemaker in the world who faces the same challenges the Saadé brothers do: from war and stray mortar shells to taxing grape samples across borders and managing an entire estate remotely for over a decade, the brothers have beaten the odds to make one of the eastern Mediterranean's most consistently admired wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de Bargylus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39563626446946,"sku":"BBW-WINE-508","price":79.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/products\/Bargylus-blanc.png?v=1740120133","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/bargylus-grand-vin-de-syrie-blanc","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
