Product Notes

As you sip, you’ll encounter a balanced melange of blackberry and blackcurrant, underpinned by distinct earthy undertones. A touch of spice adds complexity to the well-structured, full-bodied palate, which leads to a refined, lingering finish. This sublime combination of fruit and spice makes Ixsir Altitudes Red Wine an excellent accompaniment to red meats, mature cheeses and hearty roasts. A splendid wine sure to capture the hearts of discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of red fruits, gooseberries, and raspberries abound on the nose. It is indeed an elegant and pleasant wine with a graceful body and remarkable softness that lingers throughout the tasting. From start to finish, it is full and round.

About the Winery

Nestled in the verdant hills of Batroun, Lebanon, the Ixsir winery is a sight of genius and serenity. Epitomising the union of nature and excellence, Ixsir, derived from 'Iksir' the Arabic word for ‘Elixir’, produces the finest, ethically crafted Lebanese wines, and is a must-visit for any wine aficionado.

Surrounded by lush vineyards and olive tree groves within a sustainable ecosystem. Ixsir provides not only a destination for wine tasting but also an environment that encourages thoughtfulness and relaxation. Each element of the winery's design serves a purpose to enhance the overall experience and produce the best possible wine.

The winery's aesthetic shows a consideration for both the landscape and the environment. Modern architecture blends seamlessly with the mountainside's natural beauty boasting of a terraced vineyard and below-ground facilities. The ancestral house that stands at the heart of the estate, dates back to the 17th century, and underscores the deeply rooted ties the winery has with its land and history.

Driving its sustainability initiatives, the winery, built mostly underground, relies on gravity for wine production. This minimises the use of machinery and contributes to the inhibition of CO2 emission. What's more, to render a comfortable climate within the winery, a natural source of temperature control – thermal inertia – is employed. Thus, ensuring energy efficiency.

Boasting a range of wines from the fruity Ixsir Grande Reserve White to the rich and intense Ixsir Altitudes Red one cannot help but appreciate the care and diligence taken with each bottle. The winemakers coax out the subtlest aromas and flavours from the grapes to leave drinkers wanting more.

Undoubtedly, a visit to the Ixsir winery is more than just a wine tasting session; it's an immersive, enriching experience that resonates with your senses and etches a lasting memory in your heart. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or not, the Ixsir winery invites you to savour the synthesis of historic tradition, innovative techniques, and a bona fide passion for wine.
