Chateau Musar 2018
£49.99
Château Musar 2018 is the flagship red from Lebanon's most iconic winery, founded in 1930 by Gaston Hochar. It comes from old, dry-farmed vines in the high-altitude Bekaa Valley and is made using natural fermentation, minimal intervention and long ageing.
Musar reds are internationally renowned for a distinctive character, a blend of Bordeaux structure, Rhône spice and Middle Eastern soul, that develops remarkable complexity over decades. The 2018 vintage shows the richness of ripe fruit and the freshness of high-altitude viticulture, with silky tannins, spice, mature red fruits and a savoury tobacco note. It is a cabernet-based blend at 14% ABV, destined to age gracefully.
Chiswick Wine lists Chateau Musar 2018 for lovers of Lebanese red wine.

Production Notes
Hand-harvested grapes from un-irrigated vineyards (average 30–50 years old). Fermented in concrete vats with ambient yeasts. Aged around 12 months in French oak barrels, followed by long bottle ageing in the cellars of Ghazir before release. Minimal filtration, no fining, and low sulphur additions preserve natural character.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet in colour. Aromas of blackcurrant, cherries, dried figs, and warm spices, with hints of leather, cedar, and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and layered, offering ripe dark fruit, earthy savouriness, and fine-grained tannins. A long, evolving finish with notes of spice, herbs, and mineral undertones.
Food Pairings
Excellent with lamb (grilled or slow-cooked), venison, game stews, or rich Middle Eastern dishes with spices. Also pairs well with charcuterie and mature cheeses.

The History of Chiswick Wines
Chiswick Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Chiswick Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest wine making.
Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
