Domaine des Tourelles Vielles Vignes Cinsault

JANCIS ROBINSON'S WINE OF THE WEEK - BEST UK PRICE GUARANTEED!

The 2021 is utterly moreish, expressive and vibrant but deserves to be taken seriously. It smells of bitter-sweet cherry, with a subtle and attractive impression of stone dust and a lovely peppery note. A bitter-red-fruit freshness dominates the flavour that fills out the chalky-dry and definite, refined tannins. There’s a delicious ‘bite’ of freshness on the finish and even with all this energy and life, it somehow manages to be elegant, too. The alcohol is a respectable and integrated 13.5%. jancisrobinson.com

Domaine des Tourelles Vielles Vignes Cinsault - Lebanon’s first 100% Cinsault from 70 year old vineyard. 18 months aging in large futres and concrete.

Taking on other Cinsault's throughout the world! This extraordinary old vine wine comes from 50 year old vines in the Bekaa valley and is wonderfully unique.

The nose has an exotic mix of ripe fig, bright red cherry and plum fruit with star anise spice, it’s lifted and pronounced. The palate has beautifully ripe red fruit characters alongside fig and spice notes. The acidity and tannin perfectly balances the generous flavours and leaves a pure, clean finish.

Think Mediterranean cuisine - marinated meats, grilled vegetables. BBQs.
