Massaya

Massayais the result of a Franco-Lebanese partnership between the Goshn family, who reinvested in the family land, and Daniel Brunier (Le Vieux Télégraphe estate) in 1997. Significant investments have been made to modernize the buildings of the old distillery and the vineyard in Tanaïl, in the heart of the Beqaa Valley, which has historically produced Arak brandy. The first bottles of Arak were produced in 1994, and the wines arrived in 1998. Today, Massaya has been enriched with a second site in 2014, located in Faqra, in a rocky region at a higher altitude at the foot of Mount Lebanon.

Massaya wines are mainly produced on clay-limestone soils, between 800 m and 1200 m above sea level, in a Mediterranean climate that produces distinctive, frank and sunny wines with just the right balance. The estate uses local endemic grape varieties blended with French varieties such as Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon. A benchmark in the region!
