2021 Chateau Musar, Levantine de Musar

Levantine (adjective): "relating to the Eastern Mediterranean". An unoaked small production wine from low yielding vineyards on gravelly soils in the Bekaa Valley at an altitude of 1000m. In keeping with Musar's non-interventionist winemaking philosophy, it blends Tempranillo's unique characteristics from our terroir, together with Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvigon. It is elegant and vibrant displaying red fuit aromas and flavours.

The 2021 vintage is a blend of Cinsault (55%), Tempranillo (35%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) selected from a single vineyard. The Tempranillo harvest of this year was elegant and very silky, from a black grape with much depth and long length, in part due to an exceptionally low yield of 12 hl/ha.
