Cinsault
Cinsault
Chateau Musar 2016 Red 1.5 L (Magnum)
Lebanese Red
$229.99
Red cherry, plum, carob and fig shape a deep, generous aroma, lifted by a measured thread of eastern spice. The palate carries kirsch and plum into blackcurrant and dark chocolate, with velvety tannins providing quiet structure. Fruit concentration gives the wine depth without dulling its freshness. The finish is long and composed, leaving cherry, spice and cocoa.
Domaine des Tourelles 2020 Red
Lebanese Red
$37.99
Ripe dark fruit sits against a vibrant, juicy core in this minimal-intervention red. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon each make up forty percent of the blend, with Cinsault and Carignan completing it. The contrast between generous fruit and lively freshness reflects the Bekaa Valley’s hot, dry days and cool nights, giving the palate both richness and energy.
Domaine des Tourelles 2021 Vieilles Vignes Cinsault
Lebanese Red
$53.99
Wild cherry and raspberry lead, followed by cracked white pepper, dried herbs and worked leather. Fine salts add a mineral note, while long, fine tannins carry the palate. The fruit comes from fifty-year-old, dry-farmed Cinsault in the Western Bekaa, fermented with native yeasts in concrete and aged in neutral French barrels. Pepper, herbs and tannin remain through the finish.
Château Musar 2017 Red
Lebanese Red
$99.99
Sweet red cherry, mulberry and plum lead an expressive aroma, lifted by tea leaf, liquorice and gentle spice. The palate has generous fruit depth, fresh balanced acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. Savoury complexity builds gradually without obscuring the bright core of fruit. The finish is long and elegant, carrying dried herbs, red berries and a subtle earthy warmth. Further cellaring will bring added harmony.
Mersel 2020 Lebnani Ahmar Cinsault
Lebanese Red
$51.99
Violet, ripe cherry and strawberry open this fresh, fruit-led red, followed by pepper, dried herbs and a faint smoky note. Made entirely from organically farmed Cinsault in the Bekaa Valley, it is fermented with native yeasts in concrete and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The profile is medium-bodied and dry, with red fruit, spice and herbs remaining clear through the palate.
Domaine Tropez Crazy Rosé
French Rosé
$12.99
A pale rosé with citrus, white peach and restrained tropical fruit on a clean, aromatic nose. The palate is generous but fresh, balancing ripe fruit with gentle sweetness and enough acidity to keep the finish lively. Serve it well chilled with summer salads, grilled prawns, soft cheese or lightly spiced dishes where its easy fruit can take the lead.
Gérard Bertrand 2021 Papilou Pét-Nat Rosé
French Sparkling
$47.99
Elegant pale pink, with fine, regular bubbles and a subtle raspberry aroma. Fresh red fruit carries onto a dry, rounded palate, where clean acidity gives the wine energy and definition. The finish is lively and distinctly citrus-led, keeping the berry fruit bright rather than sweet. Serve well chilled with charcuterie, grilled prawns or summer salads.
Gros & Tollot 2020 La CinsO
French Red
$49.99
Ruby red with a youthful purple edge, opening on rose petal, raspberry, plum and warm spice. The palate has good substance and ripe fruit, shaped by a rounded texture and polished tannins. Freshness keeps the profile lively and precise, leading to a long, refined finish with generous red-fruit flavour and easy drinkability.
Château Musar 2022 Musar Jeune Rosé
Lebanese Rosé
$44.99
Orange blossom, red cherry and raspberry open with pomegranate, pink grapefruit and rose petals. The palate is dry, fresh and rounded, bringing peach, mandarin and green apple into a gently velvety texture. Almond, rosewater and a subtle Lebanese spice note shape the warm, balanced finish.
