Chateau Ksara Blanc 2014

Chateau Ksara
Varietal: Blanc
Vintage: 2014
Country of Origin: Lebanon
Appellation: Bekaa Valley
Retail Price: $13.99

Tasting Notes: From the Bekka Valley, this blend of chardonnay, sauvignon and semillon is just round enough to attract big-white-wine drinkers, but fresh and clean enough to keep its refreshing nature. The short stint in oak (four months) rounds it out enough to have it hold up to many dishes. Chateau Ksara Blanc will give you an outlook on Lebanese wines you never expected!
