2019 Hochar Pere et Fils Rouge, Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley
"The 2019 Hochar Père et Fils Red is a
single vineyard wine of real quality that sits
between the above wine and the grand vin.
A blend of Grenache (mainly), Cinsault and
Cab Sauv, aged in Nevers oak barrels, it’s
rich, ripe and fulfilling with plenty of sweet,
juicy fruit, spice and herbs. Released just two
years ago, it’s now firmly in its stride."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
Hochar Pere et Fils is a single vineyard red made from old vine Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon grown at 1,000 metres above sea level. The result is a wine of power, concentration, richness and freshness, full of plums, damsons, herbs and spices. This is getting close in quality to the flagship wine of the estate, but at half the price - stunning value
I first encountered this wine as part of a Lebanese wine tasting and was very impressed, so I bought another three bottles!
