Latourba Sparkling Brut has a clear, unique character and is more than worth a try. Light hay colour in the flute with fine and persistent bubbles. Ripe peach, green apple, lemon citrus and buttery brioche aromas with a beautiful extra twist that's hard to describe.
Fun Fact: Latourba was the first to produce a sparkling wine from Lebanon!
100% Chardonnay. The fruit comes from Latourba’s privately owned vineyards on the slopes connecting Mount Lebanon to the West Bekaa Valley. Made using the traditional method and ages on lees for 18 months.
Ageing potential: can be kept for 10+ years.
Light, citrus driven & fun, a lot of these sparklings tend to have floral or tree fruit aromas like green apples. In more crisp styles, they are often more floral or citrus driven, and can be slightly sweet in more apple or pear driven fizzante styles
The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
