Tasting Note

The wine has a straw yellow color with pale green reflections. The nose is discreet but animated by citrus notes. The Obeidi is an indigenous grape varietal from Lebanon, known for imparting roundness and complexity to the mouthfeel. The aftertaste lingers with a refreshing sensation, and towards the end, the flavors of Muscat peek out delicately.

Product Notes

Ixsir Altitudes White is an elegant and expressive white wine that showcases the terroir of Lebanon's high-altitude Bekaa Valley. This blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Muscat grapes is fermented in oak barrels, yielding a complex and full-bodied wine with a beautiful balance between fruit and oak. On the nose, it displays aromas of peach, apricot, and floral notes, while the palate boasts flavors of citrus, pineapple, and vanilla. The wine has a refreshing acidity that makes it a perfect match for light seafood dishes, roasted chicken, or even spicy Thai and Indian cuisine. A must-try for any wine enthusiast looking to discover the unique flavors of Lebanese wines.
