Coteaux de Château Kefraya 2022 is a structured and elegant red wine sourced from clay-limestone, gravelly and clay-silty-sandy soils at altitudes between 970 and 1,100 metres. Harvest is exclusively manual with vineyard sorting of the best bunches at optimal maturity, followed by selection on an optical sorting table. Vatting lasts 2 to 3 weeks depending on the phenolic potential at harvest, with vinification at a controlled temperature of 24–25°C and reassembly in short sequences. The wine flows by gravity into cement vats where malolactic fermentation takes place, before being placed in barrels. One third is aged in 225-litre French oak barrels, the majority of which are one-wine barrels, with the remaining two thirds aged in vats. Bottling takes place at the castle more than 16 months after vinification using Nomacorc 44x24 corks. Ageing potential of 8 to 12 years.

Appearance: Purple coloured, limpid and brilliant with silvery reflections.
Nose: Very intense and expressive on the first nose. Complex notes of red fruits supported by black fruits, roasted coffee and dark chocolate, blending delicately with subtle spice notes. Finely perceptible woodiness accompanies red fruit aromas from the Cabernet Franc, alongside liquorice, white pepper and cloves from the Marselan. Elegant and complex with a beautiful harmony between fruit and very subtle wood.
Palate: Elegant and ample on the attack. Very silky on the palate, mirroring the nose with a dominance of black fruits and spices in well-ordered complexity. The woodiness is barely perceptible yet perfectly accompanies the aromatic structure. Long and persistent on the finish.
