Kavaklidere Vin-Art Kalecik Karasi - Syrah (750ml - 13.5%)

Kavaklıdere brings together two distinct grapes in Vin-Art Kalecik Karası–Syrah, a Turkish red wine made from fruit grown in Kırşehir in Eastern Anatolia and Denizli in the Aegean. This 13.5% ABV blend combines native Kalecik Karası with Syrah, with fermentation in stainless steel followed by seven months in 225-litre French oak.

The result is a deep bright ruby wine with a silky, aromatic and balanced character. Kalecik Karası lends soft tannins, cherry fruit and floral lift, while Syrah adds body, dark berry notes and subtle spice. Concentrated yet elegant, it carries a persistent, clean finish and suits serving slightly below room temperature.
