Hochar Pere et Fils Red Chateau Musar

Hochar Pere et Fils Red Chateau Musar is 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.

Five years in the making, Hochar Père et Fils is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a
single vineyard in the Western Bekaa Valley, near the village of Aana. It is characterised by deep, gravelly soil over a
limestone base and 1,000m above sea level. Vines here have an average age of 30 years old, yields are low, 20-30
hectolitres per hectare, which results in concentrated full flavoured wine.

The grapes fermented at temperatures of 27-29 ˚ C with 15 to 20 days maceration in cement vats, followed by 6 months in
French Nevers oak barrels. It was blended in the Autumn of 2022 and bottled during the Summer of 2023.
