The second Vielles Vignes project from enigmatic winemaker Faouzi Issa.

Domaine des Tourelles have a 50 year old block of Carignan in their Amik vineyard in the Bekka Valley. The fruit from here provides an excellent component for the acclaimed Domaine des Tourelles Red, but winemaker Faouzi believed it could produce great wine in it’s own right. This first vintage highlights his belief in the project. The wine only sees concrete during production, being both fermented and aged for twelve months in his old but perfectly formed tanks.

Domaine des Tourelles Vieilles Vignes Carignan has the nose has an exotic mix of ripe fig, bright cranberry and raspberry fruit with notes of liquorice , it’s lifted and pronounced. The plate had more beautifully ripe red fruit characters, along side lively fig and date notes, the acidity perfectly balances the generous flavours and leaves a pure, clean finish.

Pairs beautifully with marinated Mediterranean spiced meats, grilled vegetables. BBQs.
