Located in the northwest of Jordan, the wine region in this area is a hidden gem yet to be discovered by the wine world. Although Jordan is often associated with its desert landscapes and rich historical heritage, the northwest of the country offers a unique terroir ideal for viticulture. The vineyards enjoy a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers, making it perfect for grape maturation. This microclimate, combined with a relatively high altitude, allows for the production of wines with surprising freshness and complexity.
The soils are primarily composed of limestone, contributing to the distinctive minerality of the wines from this region. The grape varieties grown include international ones such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, as well as indigenous varieties that are beginning to catch the attention of wine enthusiasts seeking new and authentic flavors.
Producers in this region strive to blend modern techniques with ancient traditions to create high-quality wines. For those venturing into wine cellar management, the wines from northwest Jordan present an opportunity to diversify their collection while discovering flavors that excel in finesse and character.
