Lebnani
Still Natural Wine in 1L Bottles
Our Lebnani wines were created with the intention to show the world the beauty of Lebanon's history and culture. We have even incorporated these elements in the design of the bottle. The Lebnani range comes in 1000ml bottles (as opposed to the standard 750ml wine bottle) and is filled with still natural organic wine that is free from additives and that is unfined and unfiltered.
Our Lebnani wines come in two types:
