Cinsault
75cl * 14.0% ABV * Lebanon
This Bekaa Valley estate is run by Faouzi Issa - student of Montpellier University, disciple of Rhône legend René Rostaing and alumnus of Chateau Margaux - and his three children. Cinsault has long been grown in Lebanon and these 70-year-old vines yield an exotic mix of ripe fig and star anise. Made with minimal intervention and aged in concrete, there is a degree of deliciously untamed 'naturalness' here.
