Morocco

As a colony of France, Morocco had 55,000 hectares of grapes producing almost 80 million gallons of wine annually before its independence from France in 1956. By the 1990s, only 13,000 ha of wine grapes remained, thanks to a loss of traditional markets due to import quotas imposed by the EEC and a poor response by the Moroccan state in terms of both taxation and vineyard management.

By the end of the 1990s, some foreign investment, primarily French, was encouraged leading to a revival of the wine industry and a re-establishment of some European markets. Morocco is Africa’s second largest producer of table wines after South Africa.

    Domaine Ouled Thaleb Syrocco 2021

    The brainchild of Crozes Hermitage (Northern Rhone, France) superstar Alain Graillot, this wine is produced at the modern winery of Thalvin, not far from Casablanca, Morocco! The idea for Syrocco was born while Alain Graillot was vacationing in Morocco. Alain realized how the terroir of this region mirrored his vineyards in the Northern Rhone. A collaboration was born between Alain and the modern winery of Domaine Ouled Thaleb and the result was Syrocco.
