Domaine des Tourelles Cinsault Bekaa Valley

Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
A pure Cinsault from old Bekaa Valley vines, displaying the variety's hallmark light body, red cherry, and dried herb character with an earthy, almost Mediterranean quality that speaks directly of the ancient Levantine landscape.
complement
Cinsault's light frame and dried-herb character are a natural complement to Lebanese kofta; sumac's tartness echoes the wine's acidity while flatbread grounds the combination.
classic main
complement
Cinsault's versatility and moderate tannin make it the ideal wine for a mezze spread; hummus's creaminess, tabbouleh's freshness, and kibbeh's spice each find traction against the wine's balanced character.
classic casual
complement
The wine's red cherry and earth resonate with roasted eggplant's smokiness; pomegranate's tartness bridges the wine's acidity while muhammara's walnut depth adds complexity.
established starter
complement
The wine's light frame and herb character are well matched to herb-filled pastry; white cheese's mild saltiness is balanced by the wine's acidity.
