Massaya Blanc is carafted from; Clairette 35%, Sauvignon blanc 15%, Chardonnay 15% and Obeidi 35%, a fragile, soft-skinned indigenous grape, all cultivated in Massaya's vineyards in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley at an altitude of 900 to 1,200 meters.
Massaya Blanc has a beautiful golden hue with a silver rim. The nose reflects white flower aromas. The palate has an almost velvety texture and is fresh and elegant with a good mineral balance. The finish is pleasant and silky with a pleasing hint of savoury aniseed that keeps the palate fresh and which is a reminder of its Mediterranean origin.
It will complement shellfish, baked fish, blue cheese and most hearty charcuterie. Light and deliciously approachable, the Massaya Blanc is always a pleasure to drink on its own.
