"One of Lebanon's greatest estates offers you its new vintage: a jewel of power and purity!"
Let yourself be seduced by the nose of Château Kefraya 2020, offering as much purity as ever thanks to its amphora maturation. Complex and spicy, its enveloping scents of black cherry, licorice, violet and black pepper invite you to savor it. Textured and velvety, its notes of oriental spices and menthol explode on the palate: its power and firm tannins make it a wine with great ageing potential, which you can leave to rest for a few years in the cellar!
