Why You'll Love It
Light on its feet but full of flavour, this dry Lebanese rosé offers raspberry, red cherry and mandarin with a little floral lift and savoury spice. Its rounded texture makes it an excellent wine for food. Try it with grilled prawns, baked salmon or a generous spread of hummus, salads and warm flatbreads.
About The Producer
Founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar, Château Musar helped put Lebanese wine on the world map. The Hochar family built its reputation on distinctive, long-lived wines, with Serge Hochar's determination and independence shaping the estate's character through some of Lebanon's most difficult years.
Organic vineyard management, biodiversity and minimal intervention remain central to Musar's approach. Its wines reflect the country's varied mountain sites, combining international grapes with indigenous varieties such as Obaideh and Merwah. The fruit-led, unoaked Jeune range offers an approachable introduction, while the château wines gain complexity through patient maturation and time in bottle.

Winemaking Information
The 2022 combines 80% Cinsault from young vines at Mehrine near Byblos with 20% Mourvèdre from the Bekaa Valley. Direct pressing and a proportion of juice drawn off the skins provide the delicate colour. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 18–21°C, followed by malolactic fermentation and three months' rest. The wine is cold-stabilised and bottled without oak ageing, with bottling in March 2023.
