Egypt has one of the world’s most ancient winemaking traditions, dating back millennia. Modern viticulture is centered in the fertile Nile Delta, where a handful of producers cultivate international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Viognier. The country’s hot, dry climate presents unique challenges and opportunities, leading to the use of specific techniques to manage grape ripening. While the industry is small today, it is making strides, gaining recognition, and catering to a growing market.
