Lebanon and the Mediterranean go through war every four or five years and so our history is erased... I choose not to be associated with war. I want to be associated with identity, history, with what we can keep,
Chami's wines highlight Lebanon's 7,000-year-old winemaking history, combining old practices with modern techniques using native grapes, to honor tradition while embracing innovation.
Born and raised in Australia, Chami was inspired by his parents' cultivation of indigenous grapes from Lebanon. Studying winemaking in the U.S., he returned to Lebanon, aiming to make modern wines with century-old vines.
