Albarino 2018, Karam wines

Vintage: 2018

This wine has been aged in oak barrels for 6 months. 100% new French oak.

 On Captain Karam's endless educational travels to wine-making countries and its different regions, he discovered Albariño and realized instantly it would feel right in damp high altitude, sea-breezed vineyards of Jezzine, where it can develop outstanding freshness and varietal definition. After being handpicked and vinified, this wine is aged for a further six months in oak barrels to develop a rounded structure and complexity to complement the grape’s natural freshness. The result is a wine in which the exotic pineapple, passion fruit and oak vanilla aromas are in pleasing harmony with the mouth-watering acidity, reflecting the profound and ancient terroir of Southern Lebanon. Albariño can be drunk young and has good aging potential.
