About the Winemaker
El-Sabban is the project of Rami El-Sabban, a former sommelier who directed wine programs in Miami and Montreal before returning to Lebanon in 2022 to pursue winemaking.
His wines are an exploration of Lebanese terroir, shaped through a nomadic, négociant approach. Each cuvée serves as a medium for deepening his connection to Lebanese identity, informed by time spent learning under the guidance of diverse producers.
Fruit is sourced from 1,000+ meter high vines farmed organically on Mount Lebanon. Native yeast fermentation with minimal intervention. Progressive winemaking that reimagines tradition while respecting its thread.
US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at noon in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.
Shipping cost is 35 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value! Remember, all orders over $200 get FREE SHIPPING!
At $35, shipping cost is on par with most wine ecommerce. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
