Chateau Oumsiyat, Soupir 2024

Get to know: Château Oumsiyat, ‘Soupir’ Rosé 2024

A beautifully aromatic rosé from Lebanon’s high-altitude Bekaa Valley.

Tasting Note

Delicate copper-pink in the glass with aromas of anise, herbs, and ripe strawberry. The palate is stylish and dry, with a gentle spice and juicy red fruit leading to a crisp, refreshing finish.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled sea bass with lemon and thyme
  • Charcuterie and herby olives
  • Watermelon, feta, and mint salad
Kate Says

"This is summer in a glass – fresh, fragrant, and just that little bit different. The hint of spice alongside the delicate red fruit makes it so versatile, whether you’re pairing it with grilled fish, mezze, or just enjoying a sunny afternoon."

Producer Info

Château Oumsiyat has been in the Bou Sleiman family for four generations, with current winemaker Joseph Bou Sleiman blending traditional Lebanese know-how with modern winemaking. Based in the village of Mtein, his vineyards sit at 1,000 metres above sea level in the Bekaa Valley, flanked by Mount Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. The combination of altitude, Mediterranean climate, and calcareous clay soils produces wines with freshness, balance, and aromatic complexity.

How it’s made:

  • 80% Syrah, 20% Tempranillo from 1,000m altitude vineyards
  • Produced using the saignée method for colour and flavour concentration
  • Fermented in stainless steel at 14–16°C with selected yeasts
  • No oak ageing; no malolactic conversion for a crisp style

  • Region: Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
  • Style: Dry rosé
  • Closure: Nomacorc
  • Vegan: Yes
  • Alcohol: 12.5%

Why we love it:

This is a refined rosé with a real sense of place – the altitude and climate give it lift and freshness, while the Syrah and Tempranillo bring colour, fruit, and spice. A perfect warm-weather all-rounder.
