Made from Merwah, one of Lebanon’s indigenous white grapes, it opens with elderflower, grapefruit, lemon peel and green apple, before notes of rock salt, ginger, white flowers and wet stone begin to appear. It feels bright and unusual in the best way, with a cool mineral line running through the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"458\" data-end=\"790\"\u003eThe palate is crisp, zesty and mouth-watering, with citrus, floral lift and a salty, mineral finish that gives the wine real energy.
