Chateau Musar Rosé wine is an enchantingly elegant rosé produced in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. Renowned for its distinctive blend of indigenous grapes - Cinsaut, Carignan, and Cabernet Sauvignon - it expresses an intricate mix of red fruits, dried apricots, and spices. Its unique pink-orange hue sets it apart from traditional rosés. The delightful palate is medium-bodied, with balanced, light tannins paired with good acidity, making it enjoyably smooth and succulent. Maturing gracefully in oak casks, Chateau Musar Rosé demonstrates magnificent longevity, providing a sophisticated wine-drinking experience brimming with aromatic complexity.

Tasting Notes

Pale bright mandarin colour with a delicate aroma of raspberries and soft red berry fruits with citrus notes of tangerine and caramelised orange. There is also vanilla spice from the oak and all these characters follow through to the palate with flavours of spiced orange, raspberries and a hint of vanilla from the barrel ageing. As the wine evolves in the bottle, its aromatic complexity will develop and enhance further.
