Why This Wine Matters
Château Rouge is Château Ksara's flagship wine and one of Lebanon's most celebrated red wines. First produced more than a century ago, it combines classic Bordeaux varieties with the warmth and sunshine of the Bekaa Valley. Following fermentation, the wine spends 12 months in French oak barrels (50% new oak) and a further two years ageing in Château Ksara's historic Roman caves before release.
