A skin-contact Obeideh from Sept in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley — where the normally fresh white takes on an orange wine character with white flowers, night-blooming jasmine, and honeysuckle on the nose and a fresh, citrusy mouth with hints of bitter almond and honey.
Tasting Notes
Elegant and discrete on the nose with white flowers, night-blooming jasmine, and honeysuckle. The mouth is fresh and citrusy with hints of bitter almond and honey from the skin contact. Unfiltered and unfined, giving it a natural texture and depth while preserving the distinctive floral character of the Obeideh variety. A genuinely unique Lebanese orange wine.
