Domaine de Bargylus Grand Vin de Syrie 2015

Bargylus Rouge 2015 is a blend of 60% Syrah and 20% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged in barriques for 14 months of which a third of the wood was new. The result is a broad, savoury wine packed full of ripe dark fruits, Mediterranean herbs and sweet Eastern spice. Structured and full bodied, this is wine to enjoy with robust dishes and Mediterranean cuisines.

The Bargylus winery is precisely located near the town of Deir Touma, Syria, which literally means "Convent of Thomas", not far from the last vestiges of the Crusader era and the illustrious Saladin.

Typically Mediterranean, Bargylus elegantly combines strength and finesse: the aromatic range is defined by fresh fruit and minerality transmitted from very stony soils. Domaine de Bargylus is managed by two brothers Karim and Sandro Saadé, with the assistance of renowned consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt. It has been cited by wine critic Jancis Robinson as "arguably the finest wine of the Eastern Mediterranean"
