Musar Jeune Rouge 2022
Chateau Musar Jeune Rouge is a vibrant, unoaked red wine from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley, grown at 1,000 metres above sea level. Blending Cinsault , Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from younger vines, it delivers classic Musar character in a fresher, more approachable style designed for early enjoyment. Why You'll Love It The Musar Jeune range was created to showcase the Bekaa Valley's extraordinary terroir in a more immediate, fruit-driven style. Unoaked and unfiltered, following the same non-interventionist philosophy as the Grand Vin, Jeune Rouge is all about freshness, vibrancy, and drinkability. 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%
Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most prolific planting at Vergelegen, with vineyards spanning diverse soils and altitudes. The Reserve bottling highlights the expression of the estate’s deep red Hutton and Oakleaf soils. Winemaking Fermented in small open and closed tanks at controlled temperatures, the must is pumped over every six hours for optimal colour and tannin extraction. The wine is matured for 16 months in French oak barrels (40% new, from Taransaud, Darnajou and Sylvain) before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes A wine of depth and structure, showing blackcurrant, ripe plum and spice layered with plush leather and oak. Concentrated and complex, it offers excellent ageing potential but can also be enjoyed in its youth. Food Pairing Outstanding with roast lamb, venison or mature cheeses.
