Description
The Wine House
Chateau Musar is located in an area where viticulture is more than 6000 years old: the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. The company’s 180 hectares of vineyards are located about 30 kilometers south of Beirut, between two mountain ranges. The blue grapes grow at an altitude of about 1000 meters, the white ones at about 1500 meters. They are rooted in stony soils with limestone and gravel.
The climate is hot, sunny and dry, with fresh mountain winds and cold nights. Good for the grapes, which can ripen calmly and healthily and build up fresh acidity. It is a perfect place for nature-friendly viticulture; Chateau Musar was Lebanon’s first certified organic wine estate. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented naturally. The wines remain unfiltered and the amount of added sulphite is minimal.
