The East

Morocco's Eastern region, nestled against the Algerian border near the Mediterranean coast, is a land of sunshine and fertile plains. This hot and dry climate provides the perfect setting for vineyards producing some of Morocco's most robust wines.

Red grapes dominate here, with Carignan leading the pack. These wines are known for their intense fruit flavors, firm tannins, and ability to age well. Grenache and Syrah are also prominent, offering spicy and structured reds. White wines are less common, but some producers are experimenting with varieties like Chardonnay, resulting in full-bodied and expressive wines.

The East, Morocco's emerging wine region, embraces the Marselan grape. A cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, its name combines "Marsel" (Marseille) and "elan" (yearning), reflecting its French origins and Moroccan terroir integration.
