Mersel, Red Velvet 2023

Hand-harvested in September, destemmed into a concrete tank. The tank is then sealed and a native fermentation slowly goes on for up to two weeks at 25 degrees celsius. The skins are pressed off and the fermentation continues for an additional week. The wine is then left to go through malolactic fermentation.

You won't find any 'Chateau Mersel' or 'Le Mersel' here. They are just 'Mersel Wine'. Everyday people that support local farmers to make good Lebanese wine for everyone to enjoy. Wine maker Eddie Chami wanted to make wine that is not mainstream in Lebanon. Being born and raised in Australia, he doesn't speak French and didn't want to associate Mersel with the French influence in winemaking. He just wanted to make some very good wine. His passion is to develop wine using local Lebanese indigenous grape varieties but something not common locally. Mersel Wine is the first to develop a Piquette and PetNat and he has been dabbling with skin-contact wines since 2016.
