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

Let yourself be captivated by the nose of the 2021 Château Kefraya, 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 burst on the palate: its power and firm tannins make this a wine with great aging potential—you can let it rest in your cellar for a few years!
