Tasting Notes: The fruit of a pre-phylloxera, century-old grapevines nestled in the heart of a pine forest, this cuvée revives an indigenous grape variety almost extinct: the Merweh. The wine discloses freshness and minerality that recall long summer days basking in Mount Lebanon’s sun.
A truly unique expression of Lebanon’s lost wine culture. A surprising minerality, balanced with oriental flavors of tamarind, rose water and quince; a long earthy and stony aftertaste.
