DRINK OF THE WEEK
7th October 2024
Chateau Oumsyiat Mijana
Waitrose £9.49
Drinker Rating 91
This wine writing lark isn't always beer and skittles, occasionally some serious stuff happens that needs addressing. The serious stuff right now is the appalling events in the middle east and the potential for war and all the misery that will bring to the region.
So with that in mind I'd like to send a little love to the brilliant winemakers of Lebanon. There is a long history of wine production in the country and no shortage of conflict and hardship to go alongside that. But in the shadow of this turmoil the skill of the winemakers has shone through.
This wine is beautifully made, a warming balance of spice, black fruit and easy tannins make it fabulous value - and bear in mind Lebanese wine may well be getting scarce in the coming months.
Do please look this wine out and send a little love Lebanon's way.
Cheers!
