Lebanon
The story of the Lebanese wine industry is fascinating and is one of triumph in the face of adversity. At the eastern end of the Mediterranean, bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south, Lebanon is similar in size to Wales. The Bekaa Valley is flanked by two mountain ranges and enjoys favourable geographic and climactic conditions for the production of grapes. Further south than any part of Spain or Italy the region enjoys abundant sunshine during summer allowing the grapes to ripen fully whilst the 1000m altitude provides cool nights to promote even ripeness. Chateau Musar is the most prominent producer in the region and has paved the way for plenty of other wineries to grow and flourish. The most prominent red grape varieties grown in Lebanon are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan whilst the whites can be made from a wide range of grapes such as Chardonnay, Semillon, Vermentino and Viognier, amongst others. Critically acclaimed and unique, the wines of Lebanon are definitely worth exploring.

1998 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
The 1998 Musar Red is an elegant and fragrant Cinsault dominated vintage, mainly due to the cooler conditions. It shows wonderfully developed gamey aromas, is well structured and has a vein of finely poised acidity running through it. Medium bodied with great length. The vintage was, by Lebanese standards, cold, with rainy weather that lasted until June (resulting in late flowering), leading to a summer that was sunny and dry.

Red Blend
The 2016 vintage of Musar is a deep ruby in colour with high viscosity. Red cherries, plums, carob and figs dominate the nose with a hint of eastern spice. Kirsch and plums follow through to the palate with blackcurrant and chocolate. The tannins are velvety soft and this wine has a lot of depth and fruit concentration with a long finish.

Red Blend
The 2017 Chateau Musar is a typically complex red in the Musar style, although perhaps more approachable in its youth than previous vintages. Red cherry, plum and dark berry fruits dominate the nose along with leather, tobacco and spice. Although relatively approachable now, this wine will hugely benefit from further ageing and will develop in complexity for at least a couple of decades from vintage.
