- Kayra Kalecik Karası expresses its earthy roots, along with lively fruit aromas of ripe plums and ginger flowers. On the palate, there is a lightness of fruit, density of texture, and soft, silky tannins.
Kalecik Karasi means Black of Kalecik. These blue-purple, medium sized grapes were harvested at optimum phenolic maturity. The berries were cold soaked for three days, prior to a cool fermentation which took place in 100% stainless steel, followed by 100% malolactic conversion. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks with lees contact for five months, in order to express the character of this native varietal and to highlight the distinct structure, aromas and texture of this unique variety.

| Winery | The wine was made from a blend of two regions: 80% of the grapes came from Denizli, in the Aegean region; 20% came from Ankara, in Central Anatolia which is the home of the Kalecik grape. The vineyards of the Denizli region, which borders Greece, experience a continental climate. The soils in the Denizli vineyard are cooling clay-loam, which are calcareous at high altitudes, providing good water retention and drainage for the vines. The vines are pruned according to the Cordon system and are planted in a north-south orientation. Situated in the middle of the country, Ankara has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters and has pebbly clay soils in the vineyard. |
