Combining generations of tradition with cutting-edge techniques, Chateau Oumsiyat stands as a benchmark for modern Lebanese winemaking. The vineyard, flourishing at 1,200 metres above sea level, benefits from dramatic temperature shifts between day and night, allowing the grapes to develop remarkable aromatic complexity and concentrated flavours. Grown on mineral-rich sandstone clay soils, the Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah grapes are hand-harvested with utmost respect for the environment. There's no oak influence-purity and varietal character take centre stage to offer a classic yet contemporary Mediterranean experience.
