Discover the grape variety: Bogazkere
Powerful, tannic reds with an almost black ink-dark robe, firm, astringent tannins and a dense palate, showing intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, leather, spices, tobacco and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Star of the great Turkish reds on the arid terroirs of south-east Anatolia (Diyarbakır region, Tigris valley), often blended with öküzgözü to soften its structure. Autochthonous Anatolian variety, its name means "throat-burner" in Turkish.

The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
