Discover the Flavour of Mount Lebanon in Every Sip
Chateau Oumsiyat Grande Reserve Mount Lebanon 2020 is a bold and characterful Lebanese red wine that brings together the depth of Merlot (50%), the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and the spicy complexity of Syrah (20%). Grown in the historic Bekaa Valley at over 1,000 metres altitude, this award-winning red is a celebration of Lebanon’s winemaking heritage and Mediterranean terroir.
Tasting Notes – Rich, Spicy, and Expressive
This full-bodied wine (Body Value: D) opens with intense aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and warm spice. On the palate, it reveals earthy undertones, hints of smoky oak, and savoury notes that unfold into a long, velvety finish. With just a touch of residual sugar (2 g/L), it remains dry and well-balanced, supported by a robust 14.5% ABV.

Terroir – From the Heart of the Bekaa Valley
Sourced from a 78-hectare estate, nestled between Mount Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, this vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate and rich, stony soils. The high elevation encourages slower ripening, resulting in fresher acidity and more nuanced flavours, giving the wine its signature Mediterranean charm.
Food Pairing Recommendations

| Winery | The vines are planted on the slopes of Mount Lebanon at an altitude of 1,200 metres above sea level, where the warm days are tempered by cooler nights. The summer diurnal temperature difference encourages an extended ripening period, concentrating the flavours and aromatic complexity in the berries while the fruit retains balancing acidity from the cool nights. The soil is sandstone clay, a sedimentary soil of sandy components rich in minerals. In contrast, the clay component has excellent water retention properties, essential for nourishing the vines throughout the hot, dry summer. The vines are cane-pruned and are planted at a density of 4,000 vines per hectare. The vineyard is cultivated with respect for the environment, and the grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity. |
