Mort Subite Cherry Wine

An oaked expression of cherry wine aged for twelve months in American oak barrels — bold yet refined. Crafted from hand-picked Lebanese cherries, it reveals a layered complexity where warmth meets freshness. The first sip carries a gentle sweetness, soon giving way to bright citrus notes of lemon and tangerine, all enveloped in lush oak, toffee, and soft vanilla. A wine that seduces the senses with balance, depth, and a lingering finish of crisp acidity.
