Hochar Père et Fils Red, Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Effectivley the 'second wine' of the famous Chateau Musar, with all the character but that comes to maturity a little bit sooner.

It's a wine predominantly based on a single vineyard near the village of Aana in the Bekaa Valley. The soils here are deeper, over limestone, and the age of the vines is about 35 years. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each variety is vinified separately and aged for between six and nine months in French Nevers barrels.

Intense with a complex nose of juicy black and red fruits, fig, date and spice. The palate shows red and black cherry, blackcurrant and damson fruit with fine tannins and a long finish.
