Description and tasting notes
Carignan has existed in the Bekaa Valley for over two centuries and has proven to be a variety in full harmony with the Lebanese terroir.
In 2018, Domaine des Tourelles decided to introduce Carignan to its family of old wines (over 50 years old) in an effort to reconnect with our special Mediterranean identity.
Grape: Carignan (100%).
Tasting notes: This wine is high in acidity with balanced tannins. The vinfication and aging in concrete vats ensure that it can be druk reasonably young. Along with the dominant flavors of cranberries and raspberries there are stong notes of liquorice and Mediterranean spices.
