PHILOSOPHY
PERSEVERANCE
Domaine Bargylus. Located in the hinterland of the modern Syrian city of Latakia, the slopes of Mount-Bargylus were richly covered with vines during the Greco-roman era.
However today we understand that Domaine Bargylus is actually the only winery able to commercialize their wines abroad.
Making wine in Syria is a huge challenge for the Saadé’s and vintage must be managed over the phone by the brothers, as grape samples are sent by taxi for tasting in Beirut in order to determine the harvesting dates for each parcel.
