Descrizione

Chateau Cana is the only Lebanese winery to use Sabbaghieh, a vine that owes its name to the word "sabgha" which means tint or stain; these are grapes with berries containing red pulp and juice given by the presence of anthocyanins, responsible for the greater percentage of tannins. The Sabbaghieh is a vine widely cultivated also in the gardens of the villagers. The refinement is carried out in used oak, for a minimum period of 6 months.

At sight it has an intense, deep and dense ruby red color. It delights the nose with its warm bouquet and a subtle spicy aftertaste. The sip is full-bodied, with balanced tannins.

It is recommended to combine it with red meats, lamb and pork, it is also perfect with strong cheeses such as Roquefort or other types of blue cheese.

Winery history

The estate, originally established as Clos de Cana and relaunched as Château Cana, was founded and led by Fadi Gerges with the aim of revitalizing abandoned lands of Mount Lebanon after the civil war. It has been a family-run operation since the early 2000s and, from 2018, the third generation has played a central role in the brand’s communications and relaunch.

Production philosophy

The winery favors a small-scale production approach and minimal cellar intervention, with hand-harvested grapes. It focuses on supporting the local economy, promoting craftsmanship, and showcasing Lebanese winemaking abroad.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Ras El Harf, within the municipality of Bhamdoun in the Lamartine Valley of Mount Lebanon, the winery sits on mountainous terrain with wooded slopes and is relatively close to Beirut.

Awards and recognitions

Reviews and recognition in wine publications: for example, Falstaff awarded 93 points to the Jardin Secret 2013; the estate has also been included in wine directories and wine tourism guides.
