A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, it opens with ripe red plum, black cherry, blackberry and cassis, followed by sweet spice, cedar, dark chocolate, earth and a touch of pepper. It is generous and full, but the Bekaa Valley altitude gives it freshness and shape. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eThe palate is robust, savoury and smooth, with ripe fruit, warm spice and rounded tannins leading into a long, satisfying finish.

The estate combines Lebanese tradition with contemporary winemaking, producing generous, expressive wines with freshness from altitude and a distinctly Mediterranean soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55489160872321,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2020GrandeReserve_ChateauOumsiyat.png?v=1779096256","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2020-grande-reserve-chateau-oumsiyat","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
