Discover Chateau Oumsiyat 'Soupir', a captivating rose from Lebanon's revered Bekaa Valley. Crafted by the Bou Sleiman family, whose winemaking legacy spans four generations, this rose is a harmonious fusion of respect for ancient traditions and the innovation of modern winemaking. The vineyards lie over 1,000 metres above sea level, nestled between Mount Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. Here, warm Mediterranean days and cool nights create the ideal climate for growing grapes that burst with aromatic complexity and balanced freshness. The calcareous clay soils further contribute to the bright, refreshing character of this remarkable wine, which is made sustainably with hand-harvested grapes and careful attention to environmental stewardship.
Produced predominantly from Syrah with a touch of Tempranillo, 'Soupir' is vinified using the traditional saignee method. A minimalist approach in the cellar-with stainless steel fermentation, no malolactic conversion, and zero oak influence-ensures a pure expression of fruit and terroir. This wine is vegetarian and vegan friendly, offering an elegant choice for contemporary tastes.
