B-Qa de Marsyas Red

B-Qa de Marsyas Red 2019 is an accessible and expressive red wine from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, produced by the Saadé family. As the second wine from Château Marsyas, B-Qa de Marsyas combines craftsmanship with a contemporary and fruit-driven style, perfect for drinking young.

This blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot, a composition that provides a harmonious balance between power, fruitiness and elegance. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure the best quality.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby red colour with purple highlights. The bouquet is inviting and aromatic, with notes of ripe red berries, black cherries, spices and a hint of violets. On the palette, the B-Qa de Marsyas Red 2018 offers a soft texture, ripe tannins and lively acidity. Flavours of cassis, plums and subtle spicy nuances lead to a balanced, fresh finish with mineral accents.

The wine has undergone a short ageing in French oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and subtle complexity, while retaining its fruity character.

The B-Qa de Marsyas Red 2019 is a versatile wine that goes perfectly with grilled meat, lamb dish with herbs, or a rich pasta with tomato sauce. This wine offers a wonderful introduction to the style and quality of Château Marsyas and shows why Lebanon is a rising star in the world of wine.
