Vieilles Vignes, Marweh & Obeidi, 2021, Bekaa Valley, Domaine des Tourelles

Merweh and Obeidi, two indigenous grape varietals that likely trace their lineage back to the Phoenicians. By blending them, Domaine des Tourelles has created a generous and mineral white wine that offers a sensorial voyage to Lebanon. Theses grapes' centuries-old vineyards range from the fertile Bekaa plateau to the Bsharreh mountains above the Qadisha (Holy Valley) at the feet of the millennial cedars.

This blend of Merweh and Obeidi is golden in colour, the nose has natural aromas of ripened grapes, apple skin and a mix of herbs and spices. Mineral and savoury on the palate, the wine shows notes of dired figs and fresh almonds on the finish.

Try with baba ghanouj or Sea bream with smoked vegetables.
