Since the 1960s, Musar's remote location and the Hochar family's environmental commitment have resulted in organic vineyards — with the estate receiving an organic certification in 2006. Grapes are hand-harvested by local Bedouins in the early morning to preserve freshness. Chateau Musar's winery in Ghazir is carved into the mountainside, offering ideal conditions for long-term wine storage. Their winemaking approach is 'non-interventionist,' with natural fermentation, minimal sulfur usage, and no fining or filtering.
Today, Chateau Musar wines are celebrated for their finesse, elegance, and aging potential, with commercial vintages dating back to the 1960s. The Hochar family's passion and dedication have made Chateau Musar a legendary wine producer.
A blend of 80% Cinsault from young vines in Byblos planted in 2018 and 20% Mourvèdre from 10-year-old vines in the Bekaa Valley.
Tasting Notes: Fresh and youthful with lower alcohol because of the young Cinsault vines from our new vineyards in the hills above Byblos, in Mehrine. Hints of peaches, mandarin and Lebanese spice sumac, and juicy red summer fruits that develop in the glass.
