Long before the rosé boom in the US and the quest for the palest pink possible, Domaine des Tourelles was scrambling just to keep up with the demand in their local market. For many in Lebanon, this wine is the estate’s calling card no doubt because the summers there are warm and dry, but also that their rosé is the best way to greet your guests over a plate of mezze. This rosé is made from direct-press Cinsault and Tempranillo, blended with Syrah that is bled from their other cuvées. Old style, and darker in color than your now typical rosé, it has a classic-rosé’s cherry fruit character that harkens back to rosés of yore.
