Oumsiyat Merlot

Oumsiyat Merlot is a smooth and approachable red from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, an ancient winemaking region with a winemaking history stretching back thousands of years. Produced by Château Oumsiyat, this wine reflects both tradition and modernity, combining ripe fruit with subtle structure in a food-friendly style.

Aromas of plum, red cherry, and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is soft and medium-bodied with gentle tannins and flavours of blackcurrant, raspberry, and a hint of vanilla on the finish.

Contains sulphites.

Château Oumsiyat is one of Lebanon’s rising stars in wine, blending international grape varieties like Merlot with the unique climate and altitude of the Bekaa Valley. Grown at over 1,000 metres above sea level, the grapes benefit from cool nights, which help retain freshness and aromatics in this otherwise sun-drenched region.
