A yellow/gold Lebanese wine with a smoky nose, complex notes of nuts and wax, a little herby with a touch of lemony fruit and wood tannins.
The varieties that collaborate to produce Château Musar White are particularly special; Obeideh and Merwah are indigenous to Mount Lebanon, their history dates back to ancient times. The vineyards of white grapes are located at an altitude of 1200m and hence the harvest takes place later than for reds, normally between the 5th and 15th October.
Both varieties are partly fermented in oak "barriques" where they mature for a further 9 months. They are then blended, bottled and aged for a further 4 years before release.
To fully appreciate the scope of their complexity and finesse, the white wines should be served at cellar temperature (15 degrees Celsius).
And most importantly, don't forget to decant them!
