An early rise today to wrap up harvest! The Obeideh came in sourced from two different vineyards from the big boss himself, Elias Maalouf of
@chateaurayak.
The first parcel is in the village of El Khodr in the Bekaa Valley, sitting between 1,000 m and 1,100 m above sea level. The fruit is showing gorgeous color and ripeness, and will be the driving force behind the classic Obeideh aromas.
The second lot comes from a nearby terroir perched higher up at around 1,400 m, and those berries were smaller and will drive the freshness factor!
The berries are all macerating on skins until further notice :)!
I also checked in on the cellar, and the Pinot Noir from Ammiq is really showing off right now!!
