Having come into contact with amber wines from Georgia, Maher was inspired to try and make the first skin-contact Obeideh in Lebanon. The long 7 month maceration was inspired by the Georgian practice of months-long aging in Qvevri where the wine remains in contact with the skins and berries. 

The vibrant beautiful color of the wine reflects the thin-skins of Obeideh, giving a much brighter orange, rather than a darker amber or brownish color. Lots of stone fruit, peach, and herbal characters dominate the aromas, while on the palate there is a faint grippiness from the tannins, but surprisingly smooth for such much time in contact with the skins. 

The wine remains fresh and will pair beautifully with many different styles of food.

Maher’s journey is a return to roots, shaped by loss, resilience, and a deep love for his native Lebanon. After years in France, he came back to the Lebanese mountains seeking meaning, finding it in the land where his father once stood. There, he works with old-vine native varieties and a few European varieties to craft wines that express the raw beauty of Lebanon’s high-altitude terroir. A true pioneer, Maher was among the first in Lebanon to become certified biodynamic. His minimalist approach in the cellar allows the purity of the fruit and the spirit of the land to shine through.
