Bright pale straw in colour. The bouquet shows notes of lime and green apple leading to a zesty, citrus palate with a beautiful expression of white fruits and fine notes of lightly toasted oak. Refreshingly balanced on a clean and mineral note finish.

Some 35 kilometres from Beirut, the Bekaa Valley is the centre of modern Lebanese winemaking. And in Mount Lebanon’s foothills is the ancient mountain village of Mtein, replete with five palaces built by the Al Lamaayiin Emirs plus hiking trails dotted with castles and ruins. There you’ll find the family-owned Château Oumsiyat, which is defining how the country’s wines are viewed across the world. Founded in 1950, Château Oumsiyat is run by fourth generation winemaker Joseph Bou Sleiman and his wife. Having learned from his father, Victor, Joseph has gradually implemented his own techniques, updating the winery and championing his own blends whilst respecting the traditions that have for so long been in place.
