Chateau Oumsiyat Chardonnay

The vines for this Chateau Oumsiyat Chardonnay are planted at an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level, where the warm days are tempered by cooler nights. The summer diurnal temperature difference is 20°C, which encourages an extended ripening period, concentrating the flavours and aromatic complexity in the berries, while retaining balancing acidity from the cooler nights. This chardonnay is rested on its fine lees for three months adding texture and subtle complexity before being gently filtered and bottled.

An unoaked and refreshing style of Chardonnay. Cool-climate, mountain style which creates aromas of luscious tropical fruits, ripe peach and pineapple. This is beautifully balanced by a fresh palate and a clean, zesty finish. Try with shellfish, sushi, chicken salad, creamy cheeses such as mozzerella, brie, camembert or alpine cheeses.

Passion and heritage has been passed down through the Bou Sleiman family for four generations. They blend respect for local tradition with modern techniques to craft contemporary wines, often a fusion of Old World and New World. The grapes are grown in the 78 hectare vineyard, situated at over 1,000 metres elevation in the beautiful Bekaa Valley. The altitude, microclimate and soils combine in this ancient terroir to produce fresh wines with a very Mediterranean feel.
