Description
In a nutshell:
A 50/50 blend of native varieties from Lebanon, with dried fruit flavours, from the Bekaa Valley.
The lowdown:
Domaine Tourelles was founded in 1868 and was run by the same family up until 2003, following the death of the last descendant, two local families took over the estate. The 50% Merweh come from vineyards spread over the mountains of Bsharreh to the west of the Bekaa Valley at 1,400m altitude. The other 50% Obeidi comes from vineyards on the hills of Zahleh at an altitude at 1,100m. These 50-year-old vines are trained using a pergola system. Both varieties were cold fermented separately, using wild yeasts. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were blended. The wine is golden in colour, the nose has natural aromas of ripened grapes, apple skin and a mix of herbs and spices. Mineral and savoury on the palate, the wine shows notes of dried figs and fresh almonds on the finish.
When to drink:
White fish dishes, such as sea bream, would complement this wine well.
Suitable for Vegans
