"Delicate and deep
This cuvée delivers on Château Kefraya's promise to make a concentrated, sun-filled wine that's accessible right from its youth. Its intensely complex notes of garrigue, tobacco, spices and red fruits are intoxicating. This journey continues on the palate, where fine tannin and depth are added to a framework marked by freshness.
