Château Marsyas B-Qā de Marsyas Blanc 2020: A Vibrant and Refined Lebanese White Wine

Château Marsyas B-Qā de Marsyas Blanc 2020 is an expressive Lebanese white wine that showcases the freshness and distinctive character of the Bekaa Valley. Produced by the Saadé family at Château Marsyas, an acclaimed estate established in 2005, this wine comes from high-altitude vineyards situated near Mount Barouk. The region's warm Mediterranean days, cool mountain nights, and limestone-influenced soils help preserve freshness while encouraging aromatic complexity. Crafted from a blend of 80 percent Sauvignon Blanc and 20 percent Chardonnay, this elegant white combines lively citrus character with the texture and balance of Chardonnay.

In the glass, B-Qā de Marsyas Blanc 2020 displays a bright, pale yellow colour. The nose reveals inviting aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus, accompanied by hints of white flowers, green mango, and delicate spice. On the palate, vibrant acidity brings freshness to flavours of orchard fruit and lemon zest, while subtle almond notes and a gentle mineral character add complexity. Its rounded texture balances the crisp fruit profile, leading to a clean, persistent finish with refreshing citrus and mineral nuances.

B-Qā de Marsyas Blanc 2020 stands out for its combination of aromatic intensity, refreshing acidity, and elegant structure. The Sauvignon Blanc contributes lively citrus flavours and freshness, while the Chardonnay adds body and a smoother mouthfeel. Produced with the same attention to detail as the estate's flagship wines, this blend offers an accessible introduction to Lebanon's increasingly recognised wine scene. Its expressive fruit character and mineral undertones make it an appealing choice for white wine enthusiasts seeking something distinctive beyond the traditional European wine regions.

Château Marsyas B-Qā de Marsyas Blanc 2020 pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, garlic prawns, seafood risotto, lemon-herb chicken, fresh Mediterranean salads, and Lebanese mezze. Its lively acidity complements delicate seafood and citrus-based sauces, while its rounded texture works well with grilled vegetables, creamy dishes, and soft cheeses.
