The Château des Tourettes Tinus Blanc Solera 1723 NV is a beautifully distinctive and deeply layered white wine from Provence, created by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe fame using an unusual perpetual solera system inspired by historic Mediterranean winemaking traditions. Produced from carefully selected white varieties and matured across multiple vintages, the wine combines oxidative complexity, textural depth and remarkable freshness, offering a highly individual expression of southern French terroir. The nose reveals preserved lemon, dried apricot and baked pear layered alongside toasted almond, chamomile, honeyed spice and subtle saline notes, giving the wine impressive complexity and character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple texture, vibrant acidity and a concentrated mineral core. Layers of citrus peel, orchard fruit and savoury oxidative complexity are balanced by saline freshness and gentle nutty richness, finishing long, textured and beautifully persistent with excellent depth and balance. The solera ageing contributes additional layering and harmony while preserving freshness and precision through the wine’s long finish.
