Château Kefraya
Owner of a vast agricultural estate in the Bekaa Valley, the de Bustros family built a castle on a hill there, primarily to monitor troop movements in the late 1940s. Michel de Bustros saw it as a remarkable place for growing grapes and undertook considerable work to establish the Kefraya vineyard on the slopes of the property. The first vines appeared in 1951, but it was not until 1979, in the midst of the Lebanese civil war, that the first vintage of Château Kefraya was produced.
The Château Kefraya vineyard covers nearly 300 hectares of terraced hillsides at the foot of Mount Barouk. It consists of a wide variety of terroirs: clay-limestone, stony, clay-loam, and sandy. The vines enjoy generous sun exposure and are not irrigated, which limits the yield to an average of 35hl/ha. Keen to express the terroir, Château Kefraya practices sustainable viticulture.
Many grape varieties are planted at Kefraya: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, Viognier, Carménère, Marselan, and Muscat à petits grains. This allows for rich, harmonious, and balanced blends, a philosophy established by Michel de Bustos (who passed away in 2016).
