Women-led natural wine project from North Lebanon making amphora-aged wines from indigenous Merwah and Obeideh grapes since 2022.<\/em><\/p>\n

Heya, Arabic for she, is a natural wine project started by two friends and mothers, Michelle Chami and Claudine Lteif. Their first vintage came in 2022, made in small batches at Mersel Wine, where Michelle's husband Eddie Chami is winemaker. The wines use ancestral methods and minimal intervention: no fining or filtering and very little sulfur. Farha co-ferments apples with Merwah, an indigenous white grape, and comes still or sparkling. Kanz is a Grenache and Syrah red made by whole-cluster carbonic maceration and aged in Lebanese amphorae. Ward is a ros\u00e9 and Nour a white of Grenache Blanc and native Obeideh. The founders pay the women who work their harvests the same as men, hand-label every bottle, and put photos of those women on the labels.<\/p>\n
