IXSIR is a Lebanese wine company established in 2008. The winery is located just outside Batroun, north Lebanon. The name is derived from the Arabic word for "elixir" (Al-Ikseer).[1] Jean-Marc Quarin[2] awarded it "best grade for a Lebanese wine" at Bordeaux's La Semaine des Primeurs 09. HistoryIXSIR entered the Lebanese market in 2010, under an exclusive distribution agreement with local gourmet food and beverage outlet ENOTECA.[3] IXSIR was one of only two Lebanese producers present at Bordeaux's famous "La Semaine des Primeurs", an event hosted exclusively for the evaluation and tasting of French and international wines. The company was present at the Horeca Hospitality exhibition as one of ten producers to compete at the event’s first-ever wine pavilion with blind wine tasting contests. IXSIR was awarded the "Revelation of the Public" for its 2009 Grande Reserve White and the Media and Press award for its 2009 White. On May 11, 2010, IXSIR joined the Union Vinicole du Liban (UVL)[4] and participated in a wine tasting event held in Paris for international wine experts and professionals. ProductsThe only Middle Eastern country without a desert, Lebanon’s topography is favorable for wine production as it consists of mountains, valleys, and coastal areas that are hospitable to many different grape varieties.[5] IXSIR cultivates its wine grapes in several different zones, including Batroun in the North, Jezzine in the South, and the Bekaa Valley in the East.
