Traditional Wines and Arak from one of Lebanon’s oldest wineries – Domaine des Tourelles, now available in Australia


Entering into the exquisite world of Lebanese wine culture, Domaine Wines and Spirits, a newly launched online store, now offers traditional Lebanese wines and arak throughout Australia.

Michael and George Nasser, Directors of Domaine Wines and Spirits are honored and humbled at being appointed exclusive Australian Distributors for Domaine des Tourelles. Michael and George are optimistic that bringing the artisanal blend of traditional Lebanese wines and spirits will enable Australians, Australian-born Lebanese, and Lebanese who have migrated, to discover the great heritage behind artisanal Lebanese wines and arak from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. Michael says, “Every Domaine Wines and Spirits bottle recounts the love story and passion for winemaking within one of the oldest wineries of Lebanon. We are excited that all cultures in Australia can now experience and savour this artisan know-how and unique quality of arak and winemaking.

Domaine des Tourelles was founded in 1869 by Francios-Eugene Brun, a French engineer who came to Lebanon to build railways but fell in love with the captivating Bekaa Valley and stayed to establish the now famous Domaine des Tourelles label. His knowledge of French winemaking was infused into traditional Lebanese wine and arak-making that has for more than 150 years, produced the artisanal quality of blend that Domaine des Tourelles is known for today. All Domaine des Tourelle products preserve the authentic taste and essence of Lebanon’s unique “terroir” and are 100% organic.

Today, under the guidance of Faouzi Issa, a co-owner, Domaine des Tourelles continues to produce wines and arak of different varieties. All wines are fermented in concrete vessels and produced from a mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat, Semillon, Syrah, Tempranillo and Obaideh, the latter being very popular in Lebanon.

Energetic, soulful and intoxicating – three of the most fitting adjectives, not only of Beirut, Lebanon’s largest city and capital but also of the Lebanese wine production culture that is evident in every bottle of Domaine des Tourelles.

Domaine Wines and Spirits carries a variety of Domaine des Tourelles Red Wines, Domaine des Tourelles White Wines, and Domaine des Tourelles famous Arak Brun, including special gift packs and novelties making every bottle authentically unique and a worthwhile indulgence. Stimulating, 100% organic, and reminiscent of the traditional Lebanese wines and spirits, Domaine des Tourelles Arak and Wines captivate the essence of East meets West in every bottle.

Domaine Wines and Spirits is now accepting orders online. Payments can be made through credit card or Afterpay and we ship across Australia. Visit https://domainewinesandspirits.com.au/ for more information.
