From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Dune Rouge is a red wine carefully crafted by Les Celliers de Meknès, located in the fertile Guerrouane region of Morocco. The aroma of this wine transports you to beautiful Morocco, with its delightful spices and sweetness. The taste is equally unique.

Dune Rouge capitalizes on Morocco's unique location, where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, to create a wine with unparalleled natural power. This climate, combined with the diverse soils, offers perfect conditions for growing grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Carignano. The influence of French winemakers, who brought their knowledge and expertise to Morocco over a century ago, is still evident in the way these grapes are grown and processed into a unique wine that embodies both the Moroccan soul and French elegance. This wine celebrates the country's long winemaking tradition. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of Brahim Zniber in the 1920s, Dune Rouge embodies the revival and preservation of Morocco's winemaking traditions. At a time when the struggle for independence threatened these traditions, Zniber took the initiative to revitalize the neglected vineyards left behind by the French. This resulted not only in the revival of Morocco's forgotten wine industry but also in a flourishing not seen since ancient times.

Upon opening a bottle of Dune Rouge, your nose is greeted by delightful aromas of Moroccan spices, intertwined with the sweetness of cherries and raspberries. This aroma makes you eager for that first sip, fulfilling the promise of a unique flavor. The blend of grape varieties creates a deep and complex wine that gives the traditional French style an exciting Moroccan twist. The juicy fruitiness and subtle spices make Dune Rouge an exceptional wine that both intrigues and delights.
