THE STORY

About this wine

Dry and aromatic, golden and floral — a white blend from Batroun, Lebanon, of 35% Obeidy, 35% Muscat, and 30% Viognier, aged in stainless steel. Generous and rounded, honeysuckle and white peach up front with citrus and grapefruit behind.

Ixsir Altitudes White 2024 is a Lebanese white blend from Ixsir, produced in the Batroun region. The wine combines the indigenous Obeidy grape with Muscat and Viognier; the 2024 technical listing gives 35% Obeidy, 35% Muscat, and 30% Viognier. It is aged in stainless-steel tanks.

Worth knowing

Altitude does the freshening here — parcels at around 1,800 metres, among the highest-altitude vineyards in the Northern Hemisphere. Obeidy, the indigenous grape at the heart of the blend, is where the structure and complexity come from.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Ixsir Altitudes White Blend 2024

Tasting

Color: Golden shading toward pale gold, glittering in the glass.
Nose: Floral from the first pour: honeysuckle and white peach over cream, with citrus and ginger underneath. The Muscat in the blend keeps the perfume going, and a hint of juicy pear sits behind the grapefruit lift.
Palate: Rounded and generous, peach fruit at the center with Obeidy's structure underneath. Refreshing grapefruit-peel acidity keeps it lively, richness and a sense of power carry through the middle, and the finish turns lightly bitter with a subtle spicy undertone.
