Chateau Oumsiyat, Cuvee Membliarus Assyrtiko 2024

Get to know: Château Oumsiyat ‘Cuvée Membliarus’ Assyrtiko 2024

Bright, citrussy and floral, it’s a seriously refreshing white.

Tasting Note

This is Assyrtiko like you’ve never tasted it – grown high in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley where Mediterranean freshness meets mountain minerality. Subtle white peach and lemon blossom on the nose lead to a vibrant palate full of citrus zest, gentle spice and a flinty mineral edge. Crisp, clean and mouthwatering with a lovely saline lift on the finish.

Top food pairings:

  • Grilled prawns with lemon and garlic
  • Halloumi and courgette skewers with herbs
  • Goat’s cheese tart
Kate Says

"Assyrtiko might be best known from Greece, but this Lebanese version is a revelation – super fresh and mineral with a lovely citrus drive. A brilliant sunshine wine, especially with seafood or mezze-style plates."
