Summary & Details
TASTING NOTES
A complex nose of rhubarb, cassis and blackberry preserve are combined with subtle overtones of allspice and hazelnut and an intriguing note of pine forest. A concentrated and powerful wine full of high toned red fruits and a long finish.
A philosophy of minimum intervention was carried out in the winery, so that the vineyard’s terroir expresses its true potential. The grapes were carefully hand sorted and underwent 48 hours cold maceration. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures of 26 to 28°C, followed by 18 months ageing in oak. 20% was new oak (13% French, 7% American) and the remaining 80% was matured in neutral oak. The focus was to achieve a wine with balance and liveliness.
The wines from the Kayra Versus vineyard are a reflection of the viticulture and wine crafting in modern day Turkey. Grown in Alpagut, in Eastern Anatolia, the indigenous Öküzgözü vines are planted on south facing slopes with pebble and clay soils. The continental climate offers wide diurnal temperature swings which prolong the ripening period; the warm days encourage good concentration of fruit flavour in the grapes, while the cool nights impart a balancing natural acidity. These vines are now reaching a maturity level which is demonstrating what they have to offer. The grapes are hand-picked at optimum maturity levels.
