Why we chose it“Musar Jeune is the everyday version — lighter, fresher, designed to be drunk young. Still has that distinctive Lebanese character. Great with food, great by itself.”

About this wine
Musar Jeune Red is the estate's youngest and most immediate wine, blending Cinsault, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from organically certified vineyards in the western Bekaa Valley. A bright, vibrant ruby, it leads with dark cherries and berries, then pomegranate and cranberry, with herbal notes of violet and thyme lifting above the fruit. The palate is dense and full of energy, with smooth tannins and lively acidity carrying it through.
Almost nothing is done to this wine. It ferments in concrete at 27 to 29°C, rests in vat over winter, and is bottled unfiltered without seeing a moment of oak. That is what keeps the fruit so clear, and it makes this the easiest way into the Musar style. Serve it lightly cool with grilled lamb, pork, or a bowl of pasta with tomato and herbs.
