Description
Chateau Musar "Hochar Pere et Fils Red", Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, 2021
Grapes: A blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, gravel/limestone soil, 30 year old average vine age, 20-30 hl/ha yield, fermentation in cement vat followed by 6 months in French oak barrels, bottled unfined & unfiltered, a further 4 years' bottle ageing before release
Producer Tasting Note:
A single vineyard wine, Hochar Père et Fils Red has often been described as the ‘second’ wine of Chateau Musar, as its style does bear some resemblance to the flagship wine, but the comparison stops there as its vineyards, blend and ageing places are very different.
Dark ruby in colour with cherry fruit, sweet spices and a smokiness on the nose. Cherries and blackcurrant follow through to the palate with a hint of rose (from the Grenache of this year). It is an elegant vintage with a long future ahead, from a year with no climatic extremes – from winter pruning to the September harvest
Food Match: This wine is an ideal choice for casseroles, roasted meats, tuna steaks and Mediterranean dishes.
