Origin

Produced in Lebanon, Mezzek Merlot reflects the unique terroir of the Bekaa Valley, a renowned wine-producing region known for its high altitude vineyards and Mediterranean climate.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Merlot grapes, a varietal celebrated for its soft tannins and fruity character.

Production

The Merlot grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s freshness. The wine is then aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and smoothness before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Color: Deep ruby red with violet hues
  • Aroma: Intense notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a smooth finish featuring fruity and slightly toasted oak flavors

Food pairings

  • Grilled or roasted red meats such as lamb and beef
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
  • Mild to medium cheeses like Gouda or Camembert
  • Hearty vegetable dishes and mushroom-based recipes
