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 wine region of Ankara
Central Anatolia around the Turkish capital (plateau ~900 m), continental dry climate with strong temperature swings. Kalecik Karasi reigns in red (indigenous variety saved from extinction in the 1960s): supple and juicy with red cherry, raspberry, strawberry and floral touch, round tannins and freshness — the Turkish Pinot Noir in elegance. Denser Bogazkere and Okuzkare (blackberry, plum, spices). Cabernet and Syrah as complement.
The word of the wine: Powdery mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Less dreadful than mildew, it only attacks the surface of the green parts. Sulphur has long been the best remedy.
