On the palate, notes of blackcurrant mingle with a subtle hint of infusion, followed by a whisper of cedar. The vintage proves intriguing and round, offering a harmonious complexity evolving with elegance. Flavours of blackcurrant and spices linger on the palate, giving way to the expression of the terroir that has shaped these delightful nuances.

The name IXSIR derives from ‘Iksir’, the original Arabic word for ‘Elixir’, a word common to many languages that defines the purest form of all substances - a secret potion that grants eternal youth and love.The vision behind IXSIR is to reveal the best terroirs of Lebanon, some long since forgotten. Cultivated with respect to sustainable agriculture, IXSIR’s vineyards are spread across the mountains of Lebanon on clay-calcareous and limestone soil, from Batroun to Jezzine, benefiting from microclimates that are unique to Lebanon. IXSIR’s vineyards culminate at an altitude of 1,800 metres, making them the highest in the Northern Hemisphere.
