Domaine des Tourelles Syrah du Liban 2018
Vintage Character
The 2018 Syrah Du Liban from Domaine des Tourelles is a captivating showcase of the Bekaa Valley’s distinctive terroir, marrying Mediterranean vibrancy with the classic depth of Syrah. In Bekaa Valley, the 2018 vintage was marked by a warm, dry growing season, resulting in grapes of notable ripeness and concentration, which in turn produced wines with expressive aromatics and structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded 91 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Syrah reveals enticing aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, cracked black pepper, and subtle violet, complemented by hints of Mediterranean herbs and spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, featuring polished tannins and lively acidity that impart both structure and freshness. Flavors of dark fruit and licorice are layered with earthy undertones, culminating in a lingering, spicy finish. This wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops, Moroccan tagine, or a mature Comté cheese, making it a versatile choice for a range of Western and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Winery Background
Founded in 1868, Domaine des Tourelles stands as one of Lebanon’s most historic and respected wineries, situated in the heart of the Bekaa Valley. The estate is celebrated for its commitment to traditional winemaking methods, including hand-harvesting grapes from old vines planted at high altitudes on limestone-rich soils. Emphasizing sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the cellar, Domaine des Tourelles crafts wines that authentically reflect the region’s unique climate and diverse soils. This dedication to heritage and quality has established the winery as a benchmark for Eastern Mediterranean wines, attracting enthusiasts who value character, authenticity, and a sense of place.
