Taybeh Winery – Cabernet Sauvignon Taybeh 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon Taybeh 2022 — Taybeh Winery
Grown exclusively in the Birzeit Vineyards on the outskirts of Birzeit, north of Ramallah, at around 900 metres above sea level, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a model of restrained, terroir-driven elegance. The vines are farmed organically and without irrigation — a discipline that stresses the vine just enough to produce small, concentrated, consistently high-quality fruit.
At harvest, grapes are hand-picked at perfect ripeness and transported immediately to the winery in small boxes, preserving every nuance of the fruit. Ten months in French oak adds structure and warmth without overwhelming the wine's inherent finesse.
Tasting Notes
- Soft dark currant and cherry on the nose — elegant and restrained
- Underlying notes of black currant and bay leaf adding depth
- Fleshy, toasty character from 10 months in French oak
- Green peppercorn on the finish adding a lively, distinctive lift
- Balanced, chewy tannins with a satisfying aftertaste
