"One of Lebanon's largest vineyards offers you a gem of power and purity!"

Let yourself be captivated by the nose of Château Kefraya 2020, which retains its characteristic purity thanks to its aging in amphorae. Complex and spicy, its enveloping aromas of black cherry, licorice, violet, and black pepper invite you to taste it. Textured and velvety, its notes of oriental spices and menthol explode on the palate: its power and firm tannins make this a wine with great aging potential—you can let it rest for a few years in the cellar!
