Vintage Character Domaine des Tourelles Blanc 2025 hails from Lebanon's celebrated Bekaa Valley, an ancient and exceptional terroir nestled between the Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges. Situated at elevations exceeding 1,000 meters on well-drained limestone-clay and gravel soils, the vineyards benefit from generous Mediterranean sunshine tempered by cool mountain night breezes, preserving vibrant natural acidity and infusing the grapes with concentrated aromatics.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this dry white blend presents an inviting bouquet of orange blossom, honeysuckle, white peach, and fresh apricot, intertwined with subtle herbal undertones from the indigenous Obeïdi grape. The palate delivers a refreshing balance of crisp green apple, citrus zest, and ripe orchard fruit framed by a textured, thirst-quenching minerality and a clean, aromatic finish. It pairs wonderfully with grilled Mediterranean sea bass, classic Lebanese mezze with grilled halloumi, or Cantonese steamed garlic prawns.
Winery Background Founded in 1868 by French engineer François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is one of the oldest and most historic commercial wineries in Lebanon. Today revitalized under the stewardship of head winemaker Faouzi Issa, the estate combines sustainable viticulture with artisan craftsmanship, utilizing gentle pressing and temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve pure varietal character and showcase the authentic brilliance of Lebanese winemaking.
