Discover the exceptional 2017 vintage of Chateau Musar White, a premium Lebanese white wine crafted from the indigenous Obaideh (60%) and Merwah (40%) grape varietals. Grown on the fertile slopes of Mount Lebanon in the Bekaa Valley, this vintage showcases the unique terroir of Lebanon and centuries of artisanal winemaking tradition.
The 2017 season featured abundant rainfall and snowfall early in the year, followed by a mild spring, creating ideal conditions for grapes to develop intense aromas, rich structure, and natural complexity. Despite a late April frost, the careful hand-harvesting of Obaideh grapes on September 19th and Merwah on September 27th, combined with 9 months of fermentation in new French Nevers oak barrels, produced a wine with remarkable depth and elegance.
