"Every vintage offers us a true tasting delight: the 2020 Arcanes is no exception!"

Les Arcanes from the Kefraya estate never disappoints: this 2020 vintage is expansive and opulent, once again offering a generous bouquet of black fruits and oriental spices. The palate is silky, enhanced by fine-grained tannins and a pure, lingering freshness. The long, deliciously peppery and vanilla-scented finish will win you over completely: you’ll never tire of it!
