Château Musar 2017 Lebanon (6x75cl)

"Discovered" by Michael Broadbent at the Bristol wine fair in 1979, this wine has been a firm favourite of the British wine trade ever since.

Seven years in the making, Château 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!

The varietal components in Château Musar Red undergo a lengthy fermentation in cement vats at temperatures below 30°C. 6 months after the harvest they are transferred into French barrels (oak from the forest of Nevers) for 12 months. After the blending, the wine stays in vat for 12 months before bottling - the result speaks for itself!
