“Bacchus is England’s answer to Sauvignon Blanc and the best examples such as this have a summer hedgerow-scented style that makes a great alfresco aperitif” – Jane Macquitty, The Times 100 Best wines for Summer.

An interesting blend of aromatic white grapes: 45% Sauvignon Blanc 35% Muscat and 20% Clairette. The Sauvignon Blanc gives this wine its finesse and elegance, the Muscat its subtle flowery aroma and the Clairette its fruitiness.

Chateau Ksara is Lebanon’s oldest winery. It can be traced back to 1857 when Jesuit monks acquired the property. A complex aroma of cloves, vanilla mulberry. On the palate it has peppery blackberry fruits and supple tannins.

50% Grenache 50% Carignan. These grapes come from 60-100 year old vines in the Coume de Roy. The result of a personal passion of Master of Wines Justin Howard-Sneyd who purchased 4 hectares of vines close to Maury. Enormously concentrated intense with a black fruit, round tannins with a slatey minerality and huge finish!

The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is considered the second wine to the immense Monte Bello. The 2019 is a rich and dark affair. Think black cherry, black tea, black plum, blackberry, black olive, dark chocolate, graphite, leather, roasted meat, vanilla, mint, cedar, blood orange, pomegranate, dried herbs, exotic spices and toasted oak.

Produced from Zinfandel (some coming from vines that are 130 years old), Carignan, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Mourvèdre, matured in American oak for 14 months. A classic expression full of chocolate box, prune, plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, cranberry, floral incense, sweet oak, cedar, walnuts, tobacco, meat loaves and gravelly earth.

Succulent aromas , on the nose there are notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry and coffee with a hint of anise. The palate is concentrated and firm, offering great freshness and a long mineral finish. Subtle blueberry and cranberry flavours stand out to give this wine its finesse.

Red cherries, plums, carob and figs dominate the nose with a hint of eastern spice. Kirsch and plums follow through to the palate with blackcurrant and chocolate. The harvest showed without a doubt, that global warming is causing higher annual temperatures at the same time, successive years of low rainfall have resulted in drier soils. Clearly, these factors may affect maturation of the grapes as well as the wine-making process but for 2016, with much needed rainfall and almost perfect climatic conditions there are high expectations for this vintage.

A dark burgundy colour, a nose of matured stone fruits, plums figs with liquorice and spice notes. Ripe fruit on the nose juicy black fruits plus mocha leather on the long lingering finish ! The Hochar family has turned out an exceptional 2012 vintage of their flagship wine. Deep in colour, intensely smoky spicy with black fruit, full body a finish that lasts and lasts: Unmistakenly Musar in styled personality, it is immediately appealing but will age gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years - The Wine Society, June 2019.

Deep ruby colour an aroma of fresh hedgerow berries - bramble, blackcurrant cherry, also more complexity coming through later with leather delicate, peppery-spice notes. The flavours are similar, with some soft vanilla, warming spice a cocoa note. Fresh acidity supple tannins make the wine a perfect accompaniment to richer, fattier meats like duck or a ribeye steak. It’s a beauty of course ! It was fiendishly tricky vintage with a frost in April and a heat wave in September, threatening local disaster. Indeed some 65% of Cab. Sauv. was lost. What little wine that was made though, is glorious – Jonathan Ray, The Spectator, July 2021.
