Chateau Musar White 2016

This creamy, generous white is a blend of the indigenous Obaideh with its traditional blending partner, Merwah. It’s been suggested that the two are the ancestors of Chardonnay and Semillon, and though no direct genetic link has been found, the association is a fun one to consider when tasting this unique wine for the first time. Generous and balanced, it shows lemon citrus, grapefruit, banana, apple, toffee, vanilla, and a delicate underlying honey note. It will drink into the early 2030s.
