Special characteristic

Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Gentle pressing followed by fermentation in vessels made of French oak (from the Forest of Nevers), with six months on the lees.

Der Musar White 1997 beeindruckt mit einem komplexen Bukett aus getrockneten Aprikosen, Ananas, Crème Brûlée, Mandeln, Vanille, Orangenmarmelade und einem Hauch Honig. Am Gaumen zeigt er sich trocken mit ausgewogener Säure und harmonischem Körper. Zitrone, Limette und Aprikose treffen auf Vanille, Mandel und Karamell, während Zedernholz und Ingwer würzige Akzente setzen. Goldene Rosinen und reifer Apfel runden den anhaltenden Abgang ab.

Sourced from ungrafted, low-yielding vines situated in the foothills of the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. The Obaideh holdings sit on stony, chalky soils, while the Mehrwah vines grow on calcareous gravels.
