This Chateau Kefraya Special Cuvée Amphora may remind you of the Millesima Special. These are wines that belong to three unique cuvees in the collection of Chateau Kefraya. Over the years, this winery has adopted a number of special production methods. The wine is a blend of Tempranillo, Syrah, Cinsaut and Carignan varieties. What makes this wine unique is the fact that the wine was made in clay pots. This was previously only done by the Phoenicians (oldest inhabitants of present-day Lebanon).
In the glass, the wine has a deep cherry color with purple reflections. The first impression on the nose is surprisingly rich, combined with finesse and complexity. It offers notes of sandalwood, cold smoke, curry and leather. You can also smell the pronounced notes of violets, gooseberry, ripe red fruit and notes of Jamaican pepper. The taste is balanced with silky tannins paired with spicy notes, bitter almonds, black cherries and quince. In the long finish you can taste red fruit and cinnamon.
It is recommended to decant this wine between 15 and 17 degrees 30 minutes before serving.
Combine the wine with spicy dishes, game, leg of lamb.
