Description
In a nutshell:
Fancy a Merlot that's all juicy black plum, a touch of chocolate, and smooth as velvet? This Lebanese one's a winner.
The lowdown:
This Merlot is all about the fruit - ripe, juicy black plums with a touch of vanilla sweetness. It's from vineyards high up in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, where the soil gives it a hint of something earthy. The winemakers keep things old-school by handpicking the grapes and using traditional methods, but they also add a modern touch with temperature control and stainless steel. The result? A smooth, easy-drinking Merlot that's packed with pure fruit flavour.
The Producer:
Château Oumsiyat is quietly crafting a new chapter in Lebanese wine. This family-run estate in the Bekaa Valley isn't about flash or extravagance. It's a place where heritage and tradition meet thoughtful winemaking. Their wines carry a warmth that reflects the sun-drenched vineyards, yet there's balance and an understated elegance. Think ripe red fruits woven with savoury spice and a pleasing rusticity. Château Oumsiyat shows that Lebanon isn't just about power; there's finesse to be discovered here.
When to drink:
This easy-drinking red's happy to join a casual spread. Burgers and sizzling pizzas are a sure bet, but it wouldn't say no to fragrant Asian flavours either.
