Hochar Pere et Fils Red
£18.95
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.
Four years in the making, Hochar Père et Fils Red is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a single vineyard near the Bekaa Valley village of Aana, characterised by deep soils over limestone. At an average age of 30 years old, yields are low from these mature bushvines.
An attractive clear ruby colour and aroma to match, with a subtle peppery spice and ripe red fruits. This continues
through to the palate where sweet-ripened red fruit dominate the glass with a slight savoury note and soft, elegant finish.
A great wine for the money, you can taste the quality. First class winemaking.
Great with roast beef or lamb.
