About this wine

Valley of the Sun is a warm, generous and intensely fruity red wine from the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon , crafted by Faouzi Issa at Domaine des Tourelles, one of the country's most historic and respected estates. Founded in 1868 by French adventurer François-Eugène Brun, Domaine des Tourelles is a pioneer of Lebanese fine wine, and this approachable, sustainably produced blend is a brilliant introduction to what the region does so well. Why You'll Love It Lebanese wine is one of the world's great undiscovered pleasures, and Valley of the Sun is the perfect place to start. Warm, generous and full of character, it blends the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the spice of Syrah and the soft, juicy charm of Cinsault to create a wine that is as versatile at the table as it is enjoyable on its own. Exceptional value for the quality on offer. Vineyard and Production Hand-harvested grapes are fermented on skins for 8 to 12 days in the concrete tanks that are a hallmark of the Domaine des Tourelles winery. Ageing in these tanks over winter allows for natural softening and integration of tannins, producing a wine of real roundness and approachability without sacrificing depth or character. Tasting Notes Juicy and satisfying on the nose, with generous berry fruit aromas. The palate has richness and rounded tannins, with plenty of dark fruit, spice and herbal notes. Medium-bodied and versatile, with a smooth, lingering finish that works beautifully with a wide variety of foods. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for grilled meats. Excellent with lamb or beef skewers, lamb chops, kafta and smoky barbecued dishes. Also great alongside slow-braised lamb, hearty stews or a mezze spread. Grape Varieties Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault
