Description
Chateau Kefraya
The Chateau Kefraya winery is located in the Bekaa Valley, 1000 meters above sea level. This is the main wine region of Lebanon, where quite a lot of quality wines are created. Since the times of the Phoenicians, this area has been considered fertile and very suitable for grape growing and viticulture. The vines grow in the sun-drenched, non-irrigated vineyards, where the soil is very diverse and rich in Clay-limestone, chalk, sand and gravel soils. Compared to the rest of the country, the climate here is moderate. Significant temperature differences between day and night ensure slow development and perfect ripening of the grapes.
