Since 1920, the history of The Tournels wine estate and the Bologna family has been written under the Proven\u00e7al sun of the village of Ramatuelle. Here, the 53 hectares of vines benefit from a fabulous location between the Mediterranean Sea and the Var hills.<\/h4>\n

The Tournels vineyards benefit from maximum sunshine thanks to their south-facing exposure. Dry winds from the Mediterranean protect the vineyard from humidity-related diseases. These geological and climatic characteristics provide ideal conditions for producing high-quality wines that are typical of the Var terroir.<\/h4>\n

Syrah<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\tRed Wine<\/span><\/small>\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t

The Syrah is a black grape, historically found in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon and even in South-West France. Originally from Sicily, Persia or Syria according to some legends, but more likely the northern C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t\t

Merlot is a red grape dating back to the beginning of the 18th<\/sup> century, well known in the Bordeaux region but also found within our region of Provence. A fruit with small berries with fragrances of black and red fruits, which offers a lovely aromatic range.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

Grenache<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\tRed, Ros\u00e9 Wine<\/span><\/small>\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t

The black Grenache originates from Spain, yet it has been found in the Languedoc, the Rh\u00f4ne Valley and Provence since the Middle Ages. A grape with abundant fruit, which is a safe bet for wines in southern France, whether reds or ros\u00e9s!<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

Rolle<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\tWhite Wine<\/span><\/small>\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t

The Rolle is a white grape that comes from Turkey, which has flourished in the South of France, and particularly here in the Var. It can be found with our Italian neighbours, who know it by the name of Vermentino.
\nIt provides full-bodied and well balanced wines with aromatic notes of grapefruit, white fruit, fennel\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t\t

Mainly cultivated in our southern regions as it doesn\u2019t like frost, the Ugni Blanc is a very popular grape in the Var. Characterized by a fairly pronounced natural acidity, this grape provides freshness and a lovely tension for our wines.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

Cinsault<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\tRed, Ros\u00e9 Wine<\/span><\/small>\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t

The origin of this black grape with white juice is likely to have been Provence. You mainly find it in the Languedoc and the Rh\u00f4ne Vallley. This late grape variety, which needs sunshine, flourishes in our fields. Integrated into our AOC C\u00f4tes de Provence (Protected Designation of Origin – PDO) red wines, its characteristics are typically aromas of red fruits, dry fruits and white flowers.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

Tibouren<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/small>\t\t\t\t
\t\t\t\t

The Tibouren was originally from Asia Minor, and may have been introduced to our region by the Romans. Nowadays mainly cultivated in the Mediterranean basin, this grape with a \u201cpowerful\u201d juice is being used in the development of our AOC C\u00f4tes de Provence and Coteau Varois in Provence.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>

The Carignan, a grape that originated in Spain, needs sunshine and warmth.
