Description

Domaine Wardy Château Les Cèdres 2015

Domaine Wardy Château Les Cèdres is a full-bodied and well-structured wine with strong tannins. Luscious black cherry and blackcurrant fruit flavours with complex layers of smokey cedar, chocolate, mint and a hint of lavender.

45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah and 15% Merlot. The fruit comes from Château Les Cèdres vineyards in the North Bekaa and Zahle, Lebanon. The vines grow in clay, silt and gravel soils. 

Handpicking of the fruit. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with 15 days skin maceration. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 18 months.
