Experience the bold spirit of North African terroir with the 2022 Thalvin – Domaine des Ouled Thaleb 'Syrocco' Syrah, Zenata, Morocco. A collaborative creation between Morocco’s oldest winery and the late Rhône legend Alain Graillot, this organic Syrah brings Old World elegance to a New World landscape, thriving in the ocean-cooled, limestone-rich soils between Casablanca and Rabat. A wine of striking character and balance, Syrocco is a testament to the power of terroir and the precision of thoughtful winemaking.
Product Details:

- Alcohol: 14.5%
- Farming: Certified Organic
- Winemaking: Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel; aged in French oak barrels
Sensory Description:
The 2022 Syrocco opens with a deep garnet hue and a rich aromatic bouquet of blackberries, plums, cracked pepper, and exotic spices, layered with a subtle smokiness from oak aging. On the palate, it reveals a supple texture, showcasing ripe dark fruit, earthy undertones, and hints of leather and herbs. Bright acidity from cool ocean breezes balances the wine’s warmth, while fine tannins provide elegant structure. The finish is long, savory, and expressive, echoing both the sunlit intensity of Morocco and the finesse of French winemaking.
Winemaker's Background:
Founded in 1927, Domaine des Ouled Thaleb is Morocco’s oldest winery and a leader in the region’s viticultural revival. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains, the estate encompasses over 200 hectares of organically farmed vineyards. It was during a late-1990s holiday in Morocco that Rhône icon Alain Graillot recognized the Zenata region’s resemblance to Crozes-Hermitage and launched a groundbreaking collaboration, creating Syrocco. Following Graillot’s passing in 2022, winemaker Stéphane Marriot continues the project with the same dedication to quality and terroir expression.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve slightly below room temperature (16–18°C / 60–64°F) in a Bordeaux glass to accentuate its aromatic depth and textural nuance. Syrocco is a natural match for grilled lamb, harissa-spiced dishes, Moroccan tagine, or roasted root vegetables. Its elegance also shines with Mediterranean charcuterie or a wedge of aged Manchego.
Rich in heritage and uniquely Moroccan in soul, the 2022 Syrocco Syrah delivers a vivid, seamless fusion of tradition and innovation, bringing the warmth of the Maghreb to your glass with every sip.
