    Product description

    Each varietal was fermented with their natural yeasts in concrete vats, then aged for 12 months in French Nevers oak barrels before blending. This vintage was bottled, without fining or filtration. Dense and richly textured with baked fruits flavours of plums, damsons, cherries and figs and hint of pepper and violet.

    Awards

    ... notes of new oak barrels, lovely red berry fruit (reminiscent of Grenache) and garrigue aromas. So Mediterranean on the palate, with sweet tannins, spices and a meaty hint on the aftertaste. A very friendly, easy-to-drink and enjoyable wine. It becomes even better and more refined a day after the bottle is opened.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Chateau Musar

    Chateau Musar has been in the Hochar family since 1930. They manage their vines with minimal human interference and were the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification. Most vines are located in the Bekaa Valley, cradled between two mountain ranges running along the Lebanon’s Mediterranean coastline. Vines have been cultivated here for more than 6,000 years and were brought by the Phoenicians, the Lebanese’s ancestors, who used to trade wines from Byblos to the Mediterranean zone. Today Gaston manages the day-to-day running of the winery and his brother Marc its commercial aspects. View our selection.

    Vineyard & Winemaking

    The 180 hectares of vines are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault for the production of red wine and Obaideh and Merwah, two indigenous grape variety related to Chardonnay and Semillon for the production of white.

    Wines Produced

    Chateau Musar (Red, White and Rosé), Hochar Pere & Fils (red), Musar Jeune (red) and Arack (red)
