Justin Keay: Why export is key to Lebanon wine’s long road to recovery

Justin Keay: Why export is key to Lebanon wine’s long road to recovery

The international response in the aftermath of the August 4 blast in Beirut harbour was fast and effective. For Lebanon’s wine industry the message was simple – buy Lebanese wines so that winemakers there can have hard currency to work with. For it is the financial crisis in Lebanon that is putting the country most at risk now, argues Justin Keay. He talks to the owners of three very different Lebanese wineries – IXSIR, Oumsiyat and Domaine des Tourelles – about the challenges facing them, what is unique about their wines and how exports, particularly to the off trade are a lifeline on the long road to recovery.

The end of domestic wine in 17th century Japan

The end of domestic wine in 17th century Japan

Researchers from Kumamoto University (Japan) have found an Edo period document that clearly indicates the Hosokawa clan, rulers of the Kokura Domain (modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture), completely stopped producing wine in 1632, the year before the shogunate ordered them to move to the Higo Domain (now Kumamoto Prefecture). The researchers believe that the discontinuation of wine production was directly related to this move and because it was considered to be a drink of a religion that was harshly suppressed in Japan at that time, Christianity.

HETEROGENEOUS KREMSTAL WITH MARTIN NIGL JR.
06 April 2021 17:31
HETEROGENEOUS KREMSTAL WITH MARTIN NIGL JR.

Newly anointed as an appellation in 2007, Kremstal separated from the much larger region of Niederösterreich. Is neighbors are Kamtal and Wachau. Jancis Robinson says of Kremstal “(it) produces wines of almost as much finesse which tend to cost rather less.” It’s compared to its neighbors because of climate and soil types and its championing of the great white grape, Grüner Veltliner. Grüner is a spicy, herbaceous, sometimes grassy white. In Kremstal, there are two main types of vineyard sites, those closer to the City of Krems benefit from the alluvial deposits of the Danube, while the slopes show off iconic Loess terraces, which make the vines struggle, bringing out more astringent and grassy whites. Some producers choose to blend sites together to achieve a varied, balanced wine, but Nigl creates balanced wines by hyper-focusing on single vineyard parcels.

In Japan, aging wine undersea speeds maturing

MINAMI-SANRIKU, Miyagi, Japan - A winery in Minami-Sanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, adopted a method of undersea aging for wine made from grapes grown in the town and other areas. The winery uses a type of oyster farming facility commonly found in the Sanriku area. The wine is kept at a constant temperature and matures faster in the sea, where vibrations are transmitted through the water, resulting in a milder flavor.
