Founded by Lebanese-Australian Eddie Chami, Mersel is the tip of the natural wine spear in Lebanon. Commited to low-intervention winemaking, sustainable practices and organic production, Mersel’s vines are some of the highest altitude plantings in the Northern Hemisphere.
From 120 year old vines of the native varietal Merwah, indigenous to this mountainous region in North East Lebanon, Mersel Orange Skin Contact is a superb expression of such a unique terroir.
“This fully fledged orange wine is something completely different and unique. Think mandarin, preserved lemon, ginger, bergamot tea scents. Flavours with chewy puckering texture and a wash of bloody orange acidity to finish. Magic stuff. Brilliant Wine!” – Mike Bennie
