Chateau Kefraya Les Bretèches White 2021
Château Kefraya Les Bretèches White is a beautiful white wine from Lebanon, originating from the fertile valleys of the Bekaa Valley, a region renowned for its rich vineyards and ideal climate for winemaking. This impressive blend is crafted from three elegant grape varieties: Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscat Blanc. Together, they create a harmonious interplay of aromas and flavors, ranging from floral and fruity to subtly spicy. The winemaking process for this wine is carried out with great care. The grapes are hand-harvested, after which the skins are macerated for several days to fully extract their flavors and aromas. The grapes are then gently pressed using a pneumatic press. The resulting juice undergoes a process called débourbage, during which solids such as seeds and other impurities are removed. The juice is then cooled to approximately 8°C to preserve its delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place in wine barrels at a constant temperature of 16 to 18°C, allowing the wine to develop its finesse and complexity. After fermentation, the wine is stabilized and prepared for consumption. Château Kefraya Les Bretèches White has an alcohol content of 13%, contributing to its soft and elegant taste experience.
A glass of this wine is an invitation to discover the rich tradition and craftsmanship of Lebanese winemaking and to enjoy a refined harmony of flavors.
Flavor character Les Bretèches White
In the glass, Château Kefraya Les Bretèches White presents itself with a brilliant, clear pale yellow, interlaced with golden reflections that immediately captivate the eye. The aroma is fresh and inviting, with refined notes of Muscat, exotic fruits, peach, fresh melon, white flowers, and a subtle hint of honey. On the palate, the wine reveals a lively and complex structure: the Muscat lends an exotic accent, while the Sauvignon Blanc provides fruity and mineral nuances, enriched with fresh mango and juicy apricot. The result is a harmonious, elegant wine that perfectly balances freshness and finesse. This versatile white wine is an ideal companion to Lebanese cuisine. It pairs beautifully with fresh salads and mezze dishes such as fattoush, tabbouleh, and hummus. It also complements seafood wonderfully—think oysters, mussels cooked in white wine, or grilled fish—where the wine’s freshness enhances the flavors perfectly.
Serving suggestion: Enjoy this wine at a temperature of 8–10°C to fully appreciate its delicate aromas and refreshing taste.

Description
Winery
The vast estate of Château Kefraya is located in the Western Bekaa Valley, which has been owned by the Bustros family for generations. The château was built on an artificial hill in 1946, a hill that had been used centuries earlier by the Romans to observe troop movements. The first vines were planted in 1951 and 1979. Despite the Lebanese Civil War from 1975 to 1990, the family managed to produce high-quality wines from their own vineyards. In 1982 and 1983, the “Les Coteaux de Kefraya” wines won their first international medals, and Château Kefraya began exporting its wines to France. In 1997, American wine critic Robert Parker awarded the “Comte de M 1996” 91 out of 100 points, describing it as “A remarkable achievement in Lebanon.” Today, Château Kefraya is present in more than 40 countries across all five continents.
