Description
Grape Varietals
Cinsault 50%, Grenache 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10%
Overview:
Five years in the making, Hochar Père et Fils is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a single vineyard in the Western Bekaa Valley, near the village of Aana. It is characterised by deep, gravelly soil over a limestone base and 1,000m above sea level. Vines here have an average age of 30 years old, yields are low, 20-30 hectolitres per hectare, which results in concentrated full flavoured wine.
Wine Making
The grapes fermented at temperatures of 27-29 ˚ C with 15 to 20 days maceration in cement vats, followed by 6 months in French Nevers oak barrels. It was blended in the Autumn of 2022 and bottled during the Summer of 2023.
Wein
Dark ruby in colour with cherry fruit, sweet spices and a smokiness on the nose. Cherries and blackcurrant follow through to the palate with a hint of rose (from the Grenache of this year). It is an elegant vintage with a long future ahead, from a year with no climatic extremes – from winter pruning to the September harvest.
