Blending Cinsault , Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines, it delivers classic Musar character in a fresher, more approachable style designed for early enjoyment.

It is the perfect introduction to Chateau Musar for those new to the estate, and a reliable everyday bottle for those who already know it well. Vineyard & Production Sourced from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley at 1,000 metres altitude, where the combination of altitude, limestone soils, and the Bekaa's continental climate produces grapes of natural freshness and intensity. The grapes are fermented in concrete vats at 27-29°C using a non-interventionist approach. The wine is unoaked and unfiltered, preserving the purity and character of the fruit. Tasting Notes Deep purple-beetroot in colour. The nose is dominated by fresh red fruits, strawberries, and cherries, with savoury, earthy depth and hints of spice and black pepper. On the palate, it is elegant and layered with a lively freshness. Designed for early enjoyment but with the structure to develop further with careful ageing. Perfect Pairings Versatile and food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, lamb dishes, and mezze. Also excellent alongside spiced Middle Eastern cuisine, lentil dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own slightly chilled. The Blend Cinsault 50%, Syrah 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 15%
