Clean, delicate rosé from Lebanon made with a blend of Syrah and Cinsault. Massaya is made in collaboration of the makers of Vieux Telegraphe. With grapes sourced from a vineyard at an altitude of 900-1200 metres and harvested in the cool of the early morning, this Massaya Rose has a beautiful freshness, and is reminiscent in colour and taste of a fine Provencal Rosé. Simply lovely and incredibly delicious!
Taste
A gorgeous strawberry colour, with aromas of red berry fruits and subtle spice.
About the Producer
Massaya is run by brothers Sami and Ramzi Ghosn in partnership with Frédéric and Daniel Brunier from Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe and Dominique Hebrard, formerly from Château Cheval Blanc. In 1997 only a few historical wineries were in control of all the wine production in Lebanon and no one challenged these household staple brands, but the Ghosns and their French partners believed they could join this small wine market on the condition that Massaya focus on quality and keep the size of the winery and vineyards human. So in 1998, the first new generation winery was launched that marked the renaissance of winemaking in Lebanon. From just four wineries in 1998, now Lebanon has more than 45 wineries.
