2014 Bargylus, Rouge, Antioch, Syria

As you would probably guess, making wine in Syria is a huge challenge for the Saadé’s and vintage must be managed over the phone by the brothers, as grape samples are sent by taxi for tasting in Beirut in order to determine the harvesting dates for each parcel. Domaine Bargylus is located in the hinterland of the modern Syrian city of Latakia, the slopes of Mount-Bargylus were richly covered with vines during the Greco-roman era. However today we understand that Domaine Bargylus is actually the only winery able to commercialize their wines abroad. It is a story about resistance and resilience as they kept making wines during civil war and hard times. They eventually bombshells in their vineyards. Some called it the most dangerous place to make wine on earth!

 Why do we like it?

Having that in mind, it is mesmerizing that the brothers are able to make such a high-quality wine, internationally renown! We could get a few bottles of back vintage and we loved it. The wine has a deep ruby colour, showing maturation. Warm and generous, yet elegant and silky. This is a very interesting blend, resembling the wines from south of France. Grown 900m above sea level this is a true treasure. This wine will be best decanted 20 min before serving.
