Chateau Heritage 9

In 1888, the Touma Family established one of the first wineries and distilleries in Lebanon in the small town of Kab-elias of the Bekaa-Valley to produce wine and Arak Touma, the national Lebanese drink. Continuing in the success, tradition, and experience gained by the Touma family with their Arak Touma, the Heritage Winery was established and released its first modern wines in 1997. Heritage is a family produced wine that preserves the traditions of wine making while mastering the state-of-the-art technologies in the production of varietal wines.

This wine is a combination of the nine grapes that the château works with and namely: Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Grenache, Tempranillo, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

For the first time, Château Heritage introduces its wine called “9” to be a true representation of a Lebanese wine; the real taste of Lebanon using the nine red grape varieties of the Bekaa Valley. Château Heritage used primarily Cinsault that gave this wine its warmth and softness; Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah that gave it its structure, color and freshness; and the other six varieties being present in small quantities played the role of "salt and pepper”. The cocktail of the 9-grapes gives this wine a taste of ripe plums with fruit flavors and tobacco.
