Terre Joie CinLight Bek’aa Valley – 2017
CHF 27.90
This organic winery was founded by Joe Saade, a former advertising professional, in 2012. His 35 year old plot of Cinsault vines is one of the highest vineyards in Lebanon, planted on clay and limestone soils at 1400 metres altitude!
Made from 100% organic Cinsault from 30+ year old vines, this unoaked red is pure, fresh and elegant. It feels light in body (hence the name) despite its 14% alcohol, but has good depth of ripe red cherry fruit and spice flavours, smooth tannins and impressive intensity. It provides a fascinating contrast to the 2 fuller bodied, oak-aged reds below and gives a glimpse of the fruit purity and vibrancy which old Cinsault vines can produce even in a hot climate.
Only 2094 bottles were produced. Drink 2021-2025
Serve on its own as an apero, with grilled fish or most vegetarian dishes and salads
