Hochar Pere et Fils Red

Rich, spicy and aromatic, this robust red hails from a single Bekaa Valley vineyard planted to Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Grenache over 40 years ago. Five years in the making, with 9 months in French oak barrels, it’s full of smooth bramble fruit flavours, with hints of figs, dates and cedary spice.

Food matches: An ideal choice for roasts, casseroles and Mediterranean dishes, it’s best decanted and served at 18°C. Sensibly cellared, it will keep for years: up to a decade and possibly more.

Vintage notes:

In the Bekaa Valley this year we had snow until March, spring until June followed by a very mild, gentle summer. Fresh cool air was present throughout the year and the grapes were slow to mature then a sudden, one week heatwave changed everything. Varying levels of ripeness resulted in as much as 20% Grenache featuring in the final blend.
