Winery Overview & History
Domaine de la Zouina, near the imperial city of Meknès, leads the modern renaissance of Moroccan wine. Founded in the early 2000s by French vignerons, the estate marries Mediterranean warmth with precise, contemporary winemaking.
Vineyard Location & Terroir
Set around 600 meters above sea level, the vineyards enjoy cool nights and Middle Atlas mountain winds that balance Morocco’s sunny days. Limestone and clay soils provide freshness, tension, and aromatic lift.
Grape Varieties & Wine Style
Plantings include Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and select local varieties. Wines show spice-tinged fruit, supple textures, and a savory, mineral thread — Moroccan character with French finesse.
Signature Wines
- Epicuria Syrah — Spiced black fruit, refined tannins, and polished length.
- Epicuria Blanc — Expressive Chardonnay with citrus, orchard fruit, and mineral poise.
- Volubilia Rosé — Fresh, Mediterranean-styled rosé with vibrant red fruit.
Winemaking & Cellar Practices
Hand harvesting, careful sorting, cool fermentations, and aging in stainless steel or French oak depending on cuvée. Precision and balance drive the house style.
