Elegant and complex, Château Kefraya White is a harmonious blend of mineral and fruity notes, with fine oak and a long, creamy, velvety finish.

Born from a meticulous selection of Chardonnay and Viognier grapes, it is the white alter ego of Château Kefraya Red. Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels, it offers a balanced structure and subtle tones. A pale yellow color catches the eye. It presents floral aromas of muscat, honey, mango, melon and exotic fruit. On the palate, it reveals a remarkable intensity of white fruit, offering a refreshing, persistent experience. Château Kefraya White can be enjoyed now or benefit from further cellar ageing, evolving elegantly with time.

The story of Château Kefraya begins in 1946, when Michel de Bustros launched the construction of the winery on a tell, an artificial hill erected by the Romans centuries earlier to observe troop movements. The first vines were planted in 1951, and it was not until 1979, under difficult conditions in the midst of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990), that Château Kefraya began to produce its own wine, with grapes grown in its own vineyard and vinified in its own cellar.

Situated in West Bekaa, more than 1,000 meters above the Mediterranean, the vineyard covers almost 300 hectares of terraced slopes at the foot of Mount Barouk. The vines are mostly trellised and planted at 4,000 vines/hectare on a variety of soils: Clay-limestone, clay-chalk as well as sandy and gravelly. They enjoy an exceptional sun exposure with no irrigation. Yields are limited to a low average of 35 hl/ha. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay, Viognier and other grape varieties are grown alongside indigenous varieties such as Obeidy, Merwah and Meksesse (white grapes). Château Kefraya has also revived ancient Lebanese red grape varieties such as Assouad Karech and Asmi Noir, following years of terroir research in collaboration with international institutes. Château Kefraya wines are certified organic and vegan since 2022.
