Description
In 1930, at just 20 years old, Gaston Hochar founded Chateau Musar, inspired by Lebanon’s 6,000-year winemaking tradition and his travels in Bordeaux.
The vineyards were planted between 50-90 years ago, at around 1,300 metres above sea level in the foothills of the AntiLebanon mountains. Both the Obaideh and Merwah were pressed and racked, then fermented in new French oak barrels for 9 months. They
were blended in spring 2019, cold stabilised and bottled during the summer of 2019.
Tasting Note: Fine lemon-gold, bright and fresh looking, which will develop as the wine ages over several decades – Chateau Musar white vintages are known for their incredible ageing potential. Aromas of lemon and lime, oregano and pine, following through to a zesty vibrant palate with pears, apples and fresh Mediterranean herbs. It is both youthful and complex with a long finish.
