Located at the crossroads of ancient civilizations, the Madaba region in Jordan is making its mark on the world wine map. With a Mediterranean climate characterised by mild winters and hot summers, along with limestone soils conducive to vine growing, Madaba offers ideal conditions for viticulture. Historically known for its Byzantine mosaics, the region is beginning to attract attention for its unique oenological potential.
The vineyards of Madaba cultivate international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, which benefit from significant temperature variations between day and night, allowing for a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes. Additionally, initiatives are underway to revitalise indigenous grape varieties, thus rediscovering the ancestral winemaking heritage of the region.
Madaba wines are distinguished by their rich aromatic palette and well-balanced fruity notes. Local producers are deeply committed to sustainable practices, valuing every step from vine to bottle to ensure exceptional quality. For those managing a wine cellar, Madaba wines represent an opportunity to enrich their collection with creations typical of the Middle East, combining tradition and modernity.
