This beautifully expressive orange wine is made from 100% Merweh, a rare indigenous Lebanese grape grown on century-old vines. The nose is aromatic and floral, with orange blossom, jasmine, tea, and warm spices, leading into a palate layered with ripe apple, apricot, guava, and citrus peel. There’s a gentle grip from the skin contact, but the tannins are smooth, balanced by a refreshing saline minerality and a delicate structure. At 11% ABV, it’s elegant, approachable, and avoids the harsher tannins found in some orange wines. A brilliant alternative to a fuller-bodied white or a lighter red, it’s perfect for both newcomers to skin-contact wines and seasoned natural wine drinkers. Try this with grilled prawns, seared scallops, or pan-fried seabass, slow-roasted chicken with preserved lemon, or Moroccan-style carrots with harissa and cumin. Also good simply creamy hummus, baba ghanoush, and labneh drizzled with olive oil.
