Dar Richi Hanan, 2018

Best to open at 14-20 degrees celsius as one would a red wine. Picked at the beginning of September and destemmed into stainless tanks, the wine is fermented for 10 days at 25 degrees celsius and racked off skins. The wines go through MLF naturally, they are racked twice before being bottled in late spring. Dar Richi Hanan was created by a Syrian refugee named Abdullah Richi who moved to Lebanon to escape the atrocities of the Syrian war. Abdullah was interested in winemaking and through observational learning with our wine maker, Eddie Chami, he developed this red still wine and named it after his wife - Hanan. Abdullah's dream is to go back to Syria and establish his own winery there. At Mersel Wine, we encourage people to follow their dreams and are all for giving back to the community and leaving a positive impact on others. Way to go Abdullah for creating this sensational wine
