Overview

Château Marsyas Red is a sophisticated expression of the Bekaa Valley’s unique terroir, meticulously crafted by Johnny R. Saadé and his family. The winery’s dedication to the land is evident in this exceptional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Situated in the heart of Lebanon’s ancient wine region, this red offers a fine balance between tradition and modern winemaking. With roots in a history that stretches back over 6,000 years, this wine embodies the resilience and depth of Lebanese viticulture.

Tasting Notes

Château Marsyas Red presents a deep, ruby red hue with delicate purple reflections, setting the stage for its complex character. The nose is both refined and inviting, revealing layers of dark fruit, including wild strawberries and crème de cassis, intertwined with hints of caramel, leather, and subtle spices. On the palate, expressive tannins frame the wine's bold structure, while a fine acidity provides a refreshing lift and balance. The finish is long and elegant, leaving behind a harmonious blend of ripe fruit, menthol, and liquorice. With its firm yet graceful profile, this wine holds promise for further development, making it an excellent choice for aging. Its balanced acidity and rich depth make it an ideal pairing with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
