Elevate Pinot Noir from Mersel is a natural, high-altitude single-varietal red crafted in the Bekaa Valley. Made from 100% organically farmed Pinot Noir, it's half whole-berry, half crushed fermented, aged for a year in Lebanese amphora, and finished in bottle for another—creating a harmonious and mineral-driven expression of terroir.
