Domaine des Tourelles Carignan Vieilles Vignes is a red wine from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. The fruit comes from 50 year old vines in mostly dry-farmed vineyards at 1,050 meters (3,445 feet), planted in clay soil over a clay and limestone subsoil. Grapes are hand-harvested in small boxes, fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, and aged two years in the same vats, with minimal sulfur added at bottling. The nose shows cranberries, raspberries, licorice and Mediterranean spices. The wine is structured, with high acidity and balanced tannins, and it is approachable young. It is 14% alcohol.
François-Eugène Brun came from France and set up the first winery in Lebanon in 1868, producing wine and arak. Louis and Pierre Brun followed him. Today Domaine des Tourelles is run by the Issa and Issa el Khoury families, the country's youngest winemaking team at its oldest winery.
