Chateau Kefraya Rouge 2017
The aromas are intense and complex, with hints of sandalwood, underbrush, leather, and pepper, as well as fresh red fruit, ripe strawberries, menthol, violets, coffee, and licorice. In the glass, the wine shows a deep cherry red color with purple reflections. The finish presents beautiful, long-lasting floral notes of Carménère.
This wine pairs perfectly with delicate meats, game, lamb, or soft cheeses. For the best experience, we recommend decanting the Château Kefraya Rouge about 30 minutes before serving. It is best served at a temperature of 16-18°C to bring out its full flavor profile.
The Château Kefraya winery is located in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon's primary wine-producing region, which is renowned for creating many high-quality wines. Situated 1000 meters above sea level, this area has been recognized as fertile and ideal for grape growing and winemaking since the Phoenician era. The soil is diverse and rich in chalk, clay-limestone, sand, and gravel. The vines grow in sun-drenched, non-irrigated vineyards. The climate here is more moderate compared to the rest of the country, and the significant temperature differences between day and night contribute to the slow development and perfect ripening of the grapes.
