The historic estate, established in 1857, bottled this vintage directly at the property. The main label features artwork signed by the artist Tokata and bears the crest text '1857 Le Vin du Liban'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is crafted in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon's oldest and most prominent wine region, located in the eastern part of the country. The valley is a high-altitude plateau stretching between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges. The region's vineyards are planted at an elevation of around 1,000 meters above sea level, where the soil consists primarily of clay and limestone, along with elements of gravel and sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bekaa Valley experiences a climate with long, hot, and dry summers, boasting up to 300 days of sunshine a year. Wet winters provide necessary water reserves from the melting snow of the surrounding mountains. The high elevation results in a significant temperature difference between day and night, allowing the grapes to ripen during the warm days while preserving their acidity through the cool nights. While viticulture in the area dates back thousands of years to the Phoenicians, the modern wine industry and historic producers like Ksara have been significantly shaped by French influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ksara S.A.L.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56885542814022,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-267_d79160b5-d8e3-44f2-8e9e-c0f1f8bd4563.jpg?v=1782909951","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/coteaux-de-ksara-clos-saint-alphonse-1993","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
