The 2024 Château des Tourettes Tinus Syrah is a beautifully vibrant and peppery Rhône-inspired red from the elevated vineyards of Provence, crafted by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe fame. Produced entirely from Syrah, the wine balances ripe dark fruit with freshness and savoury complexity, avoiding excessive extraction or oak influence. The nose reveals blackberry, black cherry and plum layered alongside cracked pepper, violet and dried herbs, giving the wine impressive lift and regional character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely balanced mineral core. Layers of dark berry fruit, savoury spice and gentle smoky notes are balanced by freshness and supple texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent drinkability and structure. The warm Provençal climate brings generous fruit expression while careful vineyard and cellar work preserve energy and precision throughout.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Château des Tourettes Tinus Syrah is a superb Mediterranean Syrah — savoury, fresh and beautifully composed with vibrant fruit and fine spice detail. Perfect with grilled lamb, roast vegetables, charcuterie, barbecue dishes or Mediterranean-style cooking. Enjoy now through 2032+.
