Château Kefraya Blanc 2024 is an organic-certified white wine sourced from 23-year-old vines planted at 4,000 ceps per hectare on clay-limestone hillside soils at 1,050 metres altitude, yielding 49 hl/ha. Harvest is exclusively manual with vineyard sorting of the best bunches at optimal maturity, optical sorting of the harvest, and a winemaking line under inerting. After destemming, the berries undergo skin maceration before being pressed in a pneumatic press with juice selection. Cold static settling at 8°C is followed by cold liquid stabilisation, then alcoholic fermentation in 400-litre barrels at a controlled temperature of 16–18°C. The wines are protein and tartaric stabilised after fermentation, with no use of wood chips. Ageing takes place with two-thirds in vats and one-third for 6 months in 400-litre one-wine barrels, before bottling at the castle using Nomacorc corks. Best enjoyed young, within 5 years of vintage.

Appearance: Yellow, clear and bright with golden reflections.
Nose: Very expressive and of strong intensity on the first nose, driven by the Vermentino, with the Chardonnay contributing structure and complexity. The aromatic profile revolves around fresh honey, passion fruit, jasmine and honeysuckle, mingling with melon and grapefruit around a very delicate woodiness. The second nose offers beautiful complexity with notes of citrus, minerality, white fruits, flint and lemon blossom. Intense, fresh and delicate throughout.
Palate: Round and ample on the attack. Suave and complex on the palate, with barrel vinification subtly lending finely woody and brioche notes that blend elegantly with fruity and floral characters. Creamy and fresh with a beautiful aromatic persistence.
