2021 Hochar Pere et Fils Rouge, Bekaa Valley

"The 2021 Hochar Père et Fils is a single vineyard blend of old-vine, low-yielding Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet. Although the Jeune is a real charmer, this is a definite step up with greater concentration and depth thanks to time in oak and that extra year of age. It's richly flavoured with plenty of sweet, ripe, red/dark berry fruit – on account of the Grenache – and swirls of spicy herbs. It’s ready, of course, but I'd suggest tucking it away."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

Hochar Pere et Fils is a single vineyard red made from old vine Cinsault, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon grown at 1,000 metres above sea level. The result is a wine of power, concentration, richness and freshness, full of plums, damsons, herbs and spices. This is getting close in quality to the flagship wine of the estate, but at half the price - stunning value
