Product Description In 1993, the Lebanese government ordered the destruction of illicit cannabis plantations but did not suggest alternative crops to farmers, leaving them out of pocket and without a livelihood. A French department (l'Oise) stepped in and assisted the local farmers in planting vines. The Cooperative has 220 members and cultivates about 240 hectares. The Cooperative usually sells its crops to high profile wineries, but since 2007 had started to put some of the harvest aside to make its own wine in order to grow the brand's profile and have a more regular source of income. Winemaking consultant and coop member Diana Salameh, has created a great blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and local Caladoc which demonstrate perfectly how Lebanese wine is a force to reckon with.

Lebanese adventure
I have bought some Lebanese 'Syrah' in the hope it tastes as good as I recall in the early 80's. I have also bought this wine as it comes with good recommendation and I am sure it will not disappoint at the dinner table.

Not as well known as some Lebanese wines such as Chateau Musar but simply excellent, it is good to see a good selection of Lebanese wines and Arak on Amazon and at reasonable prices rather than having to search for them in speciality shops.
