Seven years in the making, Chateau Musar Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Cinsault from vineyards near the Bekaa Valley villages of Aana and Kefraya on gravelly soils over limestone. Planted from the 1930s onwards, yields are low from these mature bushvines (average age: 40 years): Between 15 to 35hl per hectare.

Pairing Suggestions: Excellent with grilled meats, roast chicken, or Mediterranean dishes that mirror its rich, smoky complexity.

Tasting Note: Deep ruby in colour, it has a complex, intriguing array of aromas: toasted bread, cigar box, fresh tea, plums and Eastern spices. On the palate, there are mature fruits: plums, figs and cherries with hints of tea leaves and dark chocolate. The wine is intense; the first taste releasing complex notes of currants, cherries and spice, with a hint of game and finishing with a cleansing acidity.

Chateau Musar

Chateau Musar is a revered producer in Lebanon that honours ancient winemaking traditions with a modern, minimal intervention approach.

The Hochar family manages 220 hectares of Musar vineyards, nestled in the sun-drenched Bekaa Valley, with a deep respect for nature, allowing the land to speak for itself.

Having achieved organic certification for its own vineyards in 2006, Chateau Musar continues a legacy that dates back to 1930 when Gaston Hochar planted his first vines after returning from Bordeaux. Today, the estate thrives amid 300 days of sunshine, fresh mountain breezes, and a storied history that blends Phoenician heritage with contemporary winemaking finesse.

With grapes hand-harvested by local Bedouins and ambient yeasts guiding fermentation, the wines are crafted without fining or filtration. This authentic approach, combined with centuries-old traditions and a spirit of innovation, ensures that every bottle reflects the unique character of the Bekaa Valley.
