Lebanon has been making wine for thousands of years, and this bottle is a direct line to that history. Domaine des Tourelles — founded in 1868 and one of the country's oldest working wineries — bottles this white from two indigenous grapes, Merwah and Obeideh, off old ungrafted vines, some over a century old and grown high in the mountains among the cedars. Winemaker Faouzi Issa fermented each variety separately with wild yeasts and held it in steel to keep every ounce of freshness. It's generous, mineral and unlike anything else on the shelf — a taste of a wine culture older than most of the wine world.

More about Domaine des Tourelles

Founded in 1868 by Frenchman François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is one of Lebanon's oldest wineries, on the western edge of the Bekaa Valley. Today the Issa family runs it, with Faouzi Issa making the wines from about 40 hectares at roughly 1,050 meters. Hand harvesting, native yeasts, minimal sulfur. Their old-vine Cinsault and Carignan are the stars: fresh, perfumed proof that these overlooked grapes can be thrilling in the right hands.
