Sept Winery: Honoring Lebanon’s Land, Heritage, and Identity Through Wine.
At Sept Winery, every bottle we craft tells a story—a story of Lebanon’s terroir, its deep-rooted agricultural heritage, and the resilience of its people. Through our dedication to natural winemaking, we celebrate the richness of our terroir, reconnect with our identity, and take pride in the traditions that have shaped us.
In a world where mass production often overshadows authenticity, we choose to go back to the source, embracing a philosophy that honors the land, respects nature, and values honesty. By cultivating our vineyards biodynamically and crafting terroir wines with minimal intervention, we let Lebanon’s soul speak in every sip.
A Legacy Rooted in the Land
Lebanon’s winemaking history dates back over 5,000 years, to the Phoenicians, who spread their knowledge of viticulture across the Mediterranean. This legacy, however, is more than just historical—it is alive in our land, in the ancient grape varieties that still grow in our soils, and in the generations of farmers who have cared for these vines.
At Sept Winery, we see ourselves as guardians of this heritage. By farming biodynamically, we follow the cycles of nature, working in harmony with the soil, the vines, and the surrounding ecosystem. This approach is not just about sustainability; it is about restoring balance, reviving traditional agricultural wisdom, and allowing Lebanon’s vineyards to express their true potential.
Our biodynamic vineyard thrives on diversity and natural resilience. We avoid pesticides and chemicals and instead rely on natural practices to nourish the soil. This ensures that the grapes grow in the most natural way, reflecting their environment and yielding wines that are a pure expression of Lebanon’s terroir.
Reconciling with Our Identity
At the heart of Lebanon’s culture lies a deep connection to the land—a bond that has sustained us for centuries. At Sept Winery, we believe that looking forward cannot happen without going back to the roots and embracing the wisdom of ancestral traditions upon which leans our heritage. True progress does not come from abandoning our roots but from embracing them.
Our commitment to natural wine is an act of reconciliation with our identity. By allowing indigenous grape varieties to shine and using age-old techniques, we reaffirm that Lebanese wines have their own distinct character—one that does not need to conform to international trends but stands proudly on its own.
Each harvest at Sept Winery is a testament to Lebanon’s resilience and beauty. Our terroir wines are shaped by the land, the climate, and the traditions passed down through generations. By rejecting excessive intervention, we let the terroir express its true essence in every bottle.
A New Era for Lebanese Wines
As Lebanese winemakers, we are part of a growing movement that seeks to redefine the Lebanon’s place on the global wine map. For too long, Lebanon has been associated primarily with large-scale commercial production, but there is a renaissance happening in our vineyards. A new wave of artisanal producers is embracing organic and natural winemaking, proving that Lebanon’s wines can be as unique and authentic as the land itself.
At Sept Winery, we are proud to not only be part of this movement, but to lead it. For us, making wine reflects the way we live, advocating for a return to sustainable farming, and championing Lebanon’s viticultural identity. Our wines are more than beverages; they are expressions of our land, our values, and our unwavering belief that Lebanon’s agricultural heritage deserves to be celebrated.
The Beauty of Terroir Wines
One of the most profound aspects of natural winemaking is its ability to tell the story of a lieu. Each vineyard has its own unique soil composition, microclimate, and ecosystem, all of which influence the wine’s final character. By embracing minimal intervention techniques, we allow these elements to shine through, creating wines that are complex, vibrant, and deeply connected to their origin.
At Sept Winery, our biodynamic vineyard is the perfect example of a healthy, living, breathing ecosystem. The way we farm, harvest, and ferment is guided by nature’s rhythms, ensuring that what we do is an honest reflection of its surroundings. When you drink our wine, you are savoring Lebanon in a glass – its climate, its Mediterranean breeze, its sun-drenched slopes, and its centuries-old winemaking tradition.
Sharing Lebanon’s Story with the World
Wine is a universal language—one that transcends borders, cultures, and generations. Through our wines, we seek to share Lebanon’s untold story with the world: a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and unwavering pride in our roots. We invite wine lovers, connoisseurs, and curious explorers to taste the authenticity of our Lebanese wines, to experience the passion behind our natural winemaking, and to appreciate the richness of our terroir wines. Each bottle from Sept Winery carries a message—one that speaks of honoring the land, embracing our identity, and taking pride in who we are.
With every glass, we invite you to raise a toast to Lebanon’s land, its history, people, and its timeless winemaking spirit.
