Located in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, the Chateau Ksara wine label was established in 1857 by Jesuit Priests. One of the major highlights of this label is that it was the first Lebanese brand to produce dry red wine in the world. Today, these wines are exported to over 40 countries. Even today, this group continues to create wines without compromising its core values of tradition, nobility and modernity.
