Located in the northwest of Jordan, the wine designation of this region is a hidden gem still undiscovered by much of 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 benefit from a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers, which is perfect for grape maturation. This microclimate, coupled with a relatively high altitude, allows for the production of wines with surprising freshness and complexity.
The soils are predominantly limestone, contributing to the distinctive minerality of the wines from this region. The grape varieties grown include international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, but also indigenous grape varieties that are beginning to catch the attention of wine enthusiasts seeking new and authentic tastes.
Producers in this region strive to combine modern techniques with ancient traditions to create high-quality wines. For those venturing into wine cellar management, the wines from northwest Jordan offer an opportunity to diversify their collection while discovering flavours that excel in finesse and character.
