Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, Organic. Arak is the national drink of Lebanon, and this organic version is the best. Massaya is the story of a family that took the ashes of civil war and rose like a phoenix. In 1990, the family was able to reclaim their countryside house in the Bekaaa Valley. Massaya means twilight in Lebanese. It was adopted because it communicates the hue seen at the moment the sun sets behind Mount Lebanon and the sky of the Bekaa turns dark blue. One of the finest Lebanese Araks, Massaya Arak is made exclusively with hand-picked indigenous white Obeïdi grapes and green organic aniseed. Triple distilled and aged for 2 years, Arak has a beguiling aniseed flavor and freshness that cleanses the palate and aids digestion. A Lebanese summertime apertif, this serves as a perfect accompaniment to a classic selection of mezze dishes that include parsley, raw tomatoes, lemon, mint and garlic -- flavors that are sometimes hard to match with wine. 750 ml

Bethlehem, Palestine. Using only natural, locally sourced ingredients, their grapes come from the vineyards located in western Bethlehem and northern Hebron, aniseed sourced from Raba, Jenin and their water is from the Ein Ad-Duyuk Spring just north of Jericho. Even the clay amphorae used for maturation are handmade in Hebron. Truly a Palestinian pleasure, their Artisanal Arak is made from Dabouki grapes that are triple distilled and infused with aniseed before being proofed with limestone filtered spring water. This results in a clean and clear color with aromas of licorice, sandalwood incense, dates and soy on the nose. The palate carries the scents over and adds touches of shortbread, taffy and candied aniseed to a medium body with a silky and long and lingering finish. True to the nature of arak, it is meant to be paired with mezze because each sip cleanses the tastebuds and refreshes the palate, so you can enjoy a myriad of dishes with rivalling flavor profiles. 700ml

California, USA. Organic. Cameron and Marlen Porter started Amplify Wines with the goal of making wines that enhance the most singular characteristics of a given vineyard, marrying a sense of place with a sense of style. Although not fans of dogma, there are certain winemaking and farming principles that are central to their beliefs: native yeast fermentations, neutral vessels for fermentation and aging, no additions of any kind beyond sulfur, embracing happy accidents and letting intuition be their guide, and farming that seeks to establish a healthy ecosystem, embracing the natural characteristics of a given place. And by following that intuition, they have created some gorgeous and authentic wines. Wines that truly amplify the voice of site.

Château Ksara was founded in 1857 by Jesuit Priests who produced the country's first dry red wine.

Four years in the making, Hochar Père et Fils Red is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a single vineyard near the Bekaa Valley village of Aana, characterized by deep soils over limestone. At an average age of 30 years old, yields are low from these mature bush vines at 20-30 hl per hectare. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, Hochar Père et Fils Reds are suitable for vegans; they’re also richly textured and likely to produce deposits in bottle. This is a feature of most fine wines. Ideally, the wine could be decanted (discarding any sediment) up to one hour before serving at between 16-18°C. This wine is an ideal choice for roasted meats, tuna steaks and Mediterranean dishes.

No need to decant; enjoy straight from the bottle at between 60-62°F with grilled meat, charcuterie and mature cheeses. This wine is suited for vegans as it is not fined nor filtered.

At an average age of 30 years old, yields are low, 20-30 hectolitres per hectare, which results in concentrated full flavored wine. Deep burgundy in color with transparent layers showing evidence of Grenache in the blend. Ripe red cherry fruit with plums, dates, mulberries and tea leaves.

Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Vegan, Organic. Our 2017 vintage looks to be very promising indeed, the wines of this year are unique, yet retaining classical Chateau Musar character.

It has a bright ruby color and there are sweet red cherries, mulberries and plums on the nose with a hint of tea tree and licorice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated and this vintage has good acidity, depth of fruit and a long finish. Cellared well, it will age beautifully for decades.

Campania, Italy. Organic, Sustainable. Primitivo is a variety of which we don’t get to see enough - more commonly known as likely the greatest red variety of Puglia, here we see a version from interior Campania in the appellation of Roccamonfina, a verdant appellation on top of an extinct volcano. It’s a region rich in basaltic soils as a result, and this bottling of Primitivo from the label Enoz is called ‘il Chaos,’ for reasons we’ve not yet really discerned. This wine isn’t chaotic at all, but rather, carries the spices in black fruit along with red-fruit perfume that we so like in this variety; its tannins are gently put together as a result of fermentation and aging in a mix of terracotta amphorae and porcelain. It’s a beguiling wine, one that merits contemplation - and a little sign that Campania is home to some terrific potential in its reds outside of just the famous Aglianico.

Their mission was to capture the best that Greece’s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques.
