Since
the beginning of time, everyone who stepped onto the Lebanese
soil has paid tribute to the fertile land called : The Bekaa
Valley. This stretch of land has been known as the cradle
of the biggest empires. The Bekaa Valley is where the Romans
chose to build one of the biggest jewels of Lebanon - The
Temple of Bacchus - holding within its walls the hymn of love
and the mystery and secrets of wine Winemaking is an art.
Knowledge as well as sensitivity are primary qualities of
a good winemaker. Said TOUMA, with his long family tradition
of 100 years in alcohol, is more than qualified to perform
this art. Out of all the winemaking stages, it is that fermentation
and preservation require up to date technology and highly
sophisticated equipment: Only the finest are used to produce
Clos St.Thomas.
