Produced by the \u003cstrong\u003eJohnny R. Saadé Family\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bargylus is grown on the limestone-rich slopes of the Jebel al Ansariyah Mountains overlooking the Mediterranean near Latakia, where altitude, maritime influence, and exceptional soils create a wine unlike any other in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine de Bargylus has become internationally celebrated not only for its extraordinary quality but also for the determination behind its production. Despite years of conflict, the Saadé family has continued to produce world-class wines while managing the estate remotely, earning admiration throughout the wine world. Andrew Jefford of \u003cstrong\u003eDecanter\u003c\/strong\u003e described Bargylus as a wine with \u003cstrong\u003e\"a story beyond parallel,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e emphasizing that its quality stands on its own merits rather than its remarkable history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2013 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e benefited from a \u003cstrong\u003elong, cold, rainy winter\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a mild spring that encouraged even flowering. Summer temperatures remained generally moderate, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving freshness and elegance. According to the winery, the wines from this vintage show exceptional balance, freshness, and refinement. Harvest for the red grapes began on \u003cstrong\u003eSeptember 12\u003c\/strong\u003e and concluded on \u003cstrong\u003eSeptember 30\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend is composed of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60% Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20% Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine matured for \u003cstrong\u003e14 months in 100% French oak\u003c\/strong\u003e, divided equally among new barrels, one-year-old barrels, and two-year-old barrels. This carefully measured oak program enhances complexity and texture without overshadowing the fruit or the vineyard's distinctive mineral identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are planted at \u003cstrong\u003e900 meters above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e on soils of \u003cstrong\u003elimestone, clay, and flintstone\u003c\/strong\u003e. These rocky, mineral-rich soils, combined with Mediterranean sunshine and cooling sea breezes, give Bargylus its unmistakable freshness, salinity, and sense of place. The vines are sustainably managed using wire training, green harvesting, and natural cover crops, with no pesticides or herbicides. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand into small 10 kg crates before undergoing meticulous double sorting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winery describes Bargylus as a wine that \u003cstrong\u003ecombines strength with refinement\u003c\/strong\u003e, expressing fresh fruit, minerality, and the unmistakable character of its shingly limestone soils. In the 2013 vintage, the wine displays a \u003cstrong\u003ebeautiful deep purple color\u003c\/strong\u003e with aromas of \u003cstrong\u003eblack olives, black truffle, and white pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e. The palate is balanced, aromatic, and fresh, with beautifully integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and the signature mineral character that defines Bargylus. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's international reputation continues to grow. \u003cstrong\u003eThe World Atlas of Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e describes Bargylus as \u003cstrong\u003e\"the finest wine produced in the Eastern Mediterranean\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, while Jancis Robinson MW has consistently praised the balance, structure, and longevity of Bargylus vintages.
