The Wine The Wine
Lebanon
Region:Bekaa Valley
Through 20 years of civil war, Serge Hochar continued to produce terrific wine at Chateau Musar despite his vineyards being in the war-torn Bekaa Valley. The astounding quality is testament to his dreams, talent, and resilience. A rich velvety blend of Cabernet and Cinsault, it ages like fine Bordeaux but is drinking well now too. The blend is full of spice and peppery fruit sitting over earth and chocolate. It's sheer pleasure in a glass and has a status as one of the best-selling options in our selection of vegan wines.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Serge Hochar
Chateau Musar was the first producer in Lebanon to achieve organic certification for its vineyards. Remote and unspoilt, the Musar vineyards were 'organic' by default before the term was coined. Most are located in the Bekaa Valley, cradled between two mountain ranges running parallel to Lebanon's Mediterranean coastline. Vines have been cultivated here for at least 6,000 years. The Hochar family's philosophy of respect for the environment means that the 180 hectares of Musar vineyards are managed with minimal human interference and all the wines are made as naturally as possible. All the grapes are hand-harvested by local Bedouins between August and October. In the winery, ambient yeasts do the work of fermentation. The bare minimum of sulphur is used and the Chateau Musar wines are neither fined nor filtered.
