2024 Sunset Rose, Chateau Ksara, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

Don't be put off by the slightly darker colour of the Sunset Rose by Chateau Ksara.  This Lebanese icon is made from a blend of Cabernet Franc and Syrah that sees 10-14 hours skin contact and fermented at 18 degrees in stainless steel.  Packed with red berry fruit and hints of spice, this is a terrific rose to try if you fancy a change from the usual.

2019 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Red Blend

The 2019 Chateau Musar is a dark and broody wine showing complex blueberry and blackcurrant fruit mingled with black olives and a touch of clove on the nose.  These flavours follow through on the palate and are joined by cherries, plums and spice with notes of black pepper.  Well-balanced and approachable now, but as with all Musar releases, this will continue to age gracefully for many years to come.
