Sept, Merweh 2022

Sept Merweh 2022 is a distinctive Lebanese white wine that shines a spotlight on one of the country’s rare, indigenous grape varieties. Crafted in the high-altitude Bekaa Valley, it offers a finely textured, mineral-driven expression that feels both ancient and refreshingly modern. This bottling is ideal for curious wine lovers seeking authentic, terroir-focused wines from emerging premium regions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Sept Merweh 2022 typically shows a pale straw to light gold hue with a subtle green tint, reflecting its freshness and youth. The nose is delicately aromatic yet complex, with notes that may suggest citrus zest, wild herbs, white flowers, and hints of stone fruit layered over a saline, stony core. On the palate, expect a focused, medium-bodied wine with vibrant acidity and a distinctly mineral backbone. Flavors often lean towards lemon and grapefruit, green apple, and subtle pear, supported by gentle herbal tones and a lightly savory, almost saline finish that speaks clearly of its mountainous origin. The texture is clean and precise rather than opulent, making it very food-friendly. While it is beautifully expressive now, this vintage should hold well for a few years, developing a touch more nuttiness and complexity with short- to mid-term cellaring.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, Sept Merweh 2022 benefits from high-altitude sites, strong diurnal temperature shifts, and limestone-rich soils that contribute to its tension and mineral character. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection and preserve the natural freshness of this delicate, native variety. In the cellar, Sept favors a low-intervention approach: gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and maturation in neutral vessels (such as stainless steel or older oak) to allow the Merweh grape and Bekaa terroir to take center stage without heavy influence from new wood or excessive winemaking manipulation.

Food & Serving
This Merweh is an excellent match for Mediterranean and Levantine cuisine: think grilled or baked white fish with herbs, mezze spreads with hummus and labneh, fresh goat or sheep’s cheeses, and dishes featuring olive oil, lemon, and fresh herbs. It also pairs nicely with simple roasted chicken, seafood pasta, and light vegetable dishes. Serve well-chilled but not icy, ideally around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to allow its aromas and texture to open up. A quick splash in a carafe or a brief 15-minute rest in the glass is generally enough aeration for this style.
