Description
Merweh and Obeidi, two indigenous grape varietals that likely trace their lineage back to the Phoenicians. By blending them, Domaine des Tourelles has created a generous and mineral white wine that offers a sensorial voyage to Lebanon. These grapes’ centuries-old vineyards range from the fertile Bekaa plateau to the Bsharreh mountains above the Qadisha (Holy Valley) at the feet of the millennial cedars. Both varietals were cold fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and blended equally after.
Tasting Notes :
The well-structured blend of these two grapes gives the wine its brilliant golden color. The nose has natural aromas of ripened grapes, apple skin and a mix of spices and herbs. Mineral and savoury on the palate, the wine shows notes of dried figs and fresh almonds on the finish.
