Massaya Bekaa Valley Gold Reserve 2011 750 ML

For over five thousand years, Lebanon has been producing wines. This ancient and proud country has been involved with viticulture for longer than almost every other location on earth, and there are plenty of historical records demonstrating how Lebanese wines were in high demand by the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs, just as they are popular with those looking for something unique and delicious to this day. The vast majority of grapes cultivated in modern Lebanon are of French origin, with many Bordeaux and Loire Valley varietals being grown in large quantities in the more temperate eastern part of the country. However, there is increasing enthusiasm for native varietals, and we can expect to see more and more wines made with indigenous Lebanese grapes in wine stores around the world over the next few years.
