Château Marsyas is an extraordinary venture, created in 2005 by the Saadé family in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. The estate spans 55 hectares of prime, high-altitude vineyard land at the foot of Mt Barouk. Marsyas refers to the ancient name for Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley, cited by both Strabo (an ancient Greek geographer and philosopher) and Pliny the Elder (Roman Author, Philosopher and naval commander). ‘B-Qa de Marsyas’ is the junior red of Château Marsyas, with a similar blend, and is released earlier, at an approachable pricepoint.
