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: Load shedding
Unlike pumping over, the liquid part is completely removed from the tank before being poured over the marc. This allows for a better mixing of the solid particles and the juice.
