Kavaklidere Prestiage Series - Bogazkere Red

Boğazkere is a ‘monocépage’ product created after long research in vinification and aging. The grapes come from a district named Çermik located at the northern part of the upper Mesopotamia plateau where the sources for the Tigris river reach the Taurus mountains. The milder temperatures here combined with a hot summer climate create very suitable conditions for producing dark red rich
grapes. After aging in French oak barrels for 12 months, we get an elegant "boisé" besides fruity and spicy flavors. This remarkable and strong wine is stored for two years in the winery, but it can be aged for at least ten years and it is recommended to wait at least five or six years to get the "bouquet" and to soften the tannins. This wine is best served at 16-18 degrees C and it is a very good match with rich dishes of red meat.
