Description and tasting notes
Cherry colored, clear and brilliant, with purple reflections.
The first bouquet of Chateau Kefraya 2011 is intense with notes of pepper, clove, vanilla, toast and forest fruits with further hints of blackcurrant, morello cherry, spice and coffee. There are secondary aromas of menthol and spice with hints of leather
and flowers.
The wine is full and round on the palate with balance and length. The tannins
are generous and rich and the oak is well-integrated with the fruit. The
Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety on the front palate but gives way
to the Syrah in the finish.
Chateau Kefraya 2017 is deep cherry colored, clear and brilliant, with purple reflections.
The first bouquet is intense and complex. From the ageing in amphora it results a unique wine with the purest profile.
The texture is marked by the terroir, combining notes of scrublands and sandalwood along with pepper and leather. The fine and subtle woody nose has aromas of fresh red fruits, cherry, ripe strawberries and menthol. The second nose offers more intense notes of violet and violet that evolve towards with hints of coffee and licorice when allowed to breath.
Palate
The wine is frank, ample and generous on the palate with balance and length. The tannins are particularly soft followed by good volume on the palate. The oak is well-integrated with the whole structure. The mouth is complex with beautiful long lasting aromas. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety on the front palate, followed by the spicy Syrah and gives way to the Cinsault and the floral aromas of Carmenère in the finish.
