Description

The Chateau Musar Lebanon Blanc 2018 is a legendary, age-worthy white wine from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Blended from ancient indigenous grapes, Obaideh and Merwah, it features a creamy, amber-hued texture with complex notes of citrus, honey, baked apple, and Mediterranean herbs.

Winery Notes

Chateau Musar whites are truly unique, produced from some of the oldest vineyard sites in the world dating back to 5,000 BC, although it was the Phoenicians, the great maritime race of the Mediterranean, who first ‘introduced’ Lebanese wine to a wider audience. Indigenous ancient grape varieties Obaideh and Merwah, reputedly the ancestors of Chardonnay/Chasselas and Semillon are still cultivated from un-grafted vines on original rootstock. The vineyards on the seaward facing slopes of Mount Lebanon and the foothills of Anti-Lebanon were planted between 50 and 90 years ago and are at 1,200 metres above sea level – few vineyards of this calibre and history remain in the world today.

Blend:  Obaideh 60%,  Merwah 40%
