It has notes of lemon, orange with good weight, concentration \u0026amp; texture, tangy acidity with ripe fruit. The 2015 vintage is clean and pure with a nervous energy. It is a remarkable example of the indigenous Merwah with its origins in the mountains of Lebanon – it is a rare light skinned grape variety, closely related to Semillon in Bordeaux and gives wines of great ageing potential and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Merwah was fermented in new oak barrels and aged 9 months on their lees. It was bottled in August 2016 after cold stabilisation and released after 6 years of ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery little Chateau Musar White 2015 was produced due to severe frosts in the spring. Unfortunately our crop of Merwah suffered a 70% loss and we were not able to produce any Obaideh this year. We experienced exceptionally cold nights in April with temperatures down to minus 8˚C and in one extreme instance, minus 12˚C, ruining buds already in the process of opening. By early May, we were looking out on hectares of blackened vines and the situation looked catastrophic but gradually like a phoenix rising from the ashes, green shoots began to emerge from the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46904339824837,"sku":"iax1789234036301","price":40.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/7262\/0485\/files\/chateau-musar-white-2015_1.jpg?v=1789234041","url":"https:\/\/www.helvorae.shop\/products\/chateau-musar-white-2015","provider":"Lunarae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
