The first vines were a gift of a few hundred plants from Naji Boutros of neighboring Ch\u00e2teau Belle-Vue, used to bring the family terraces back to life. Today the estate covers just under five hectares of clay loam and limestone between 1,000 and 1,200 meters, farmed organically, and all wine comes from its own grapes in small micro-cuv\u00e9es. The winery is named after the Iris sofarana, a rare iris found only on Mount Lebanon. Owner Sarmad Salibi started a project in 2013 to reproduce the flower, the new irises now grow in the vineyard, and part of every bottle sold goes toward restoring it.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Iris Domain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Btalloun, Mount Lebanon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2003<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Sarmad Salibi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Iris Domain red, Longshadow, limited micro-cuv\u00e9es, special edition blends<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Direct from the winery; Lebanese wine retailers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Website<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/irisdomain.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">irisdomain.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Instagram<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/irisdomain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/irisdomain<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Small organic Mount Lebanon winery near Btalloun, named after the endangered Iris sofarana and funding its return to the wild.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Iris Domain at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wine project started in 2003<\/li>\n<li>Organic, estate-grown micro-cuv\u00e9es<\/li>\n<li>Vineyards at 1,000 to 1,200 meters<\/li>\n<li>Named after the endangered Iris sofarana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind Iris Domain<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sarmad Salibi<\/strong> (Owner).
