Kalecik Karası, one of the indigenous and prestigious wine grape variety used for Anatolian wine making tradition for centuries, has taken its deserved place among Anatolian wines after a long period of viticulture and vinification researches and studies of Kavaklıdere. The vineyards located at Kalecik ( Ankara), benefit from the microclimate of Kızılırmak, which is milder than the continental climate of Middle Anatolia. The best vinification method is applied to Kalecik Karası in Kavaklıdere’s Akyurt Production Plant to reveal the elegant and distinctive character of the grape. Prestige Kalecik Karası has pale garnet colour, rich aromas and flavours of intense red fruits and spices. Well-balanced structure resulting from the soft tannins, harmony with oak, provides its bouquet to develop for years in the bottle.

Kalecik Karası is best when served at 17° C and perfectly matches with grilled lamb, lamb tandoori, fried turbot, roasted veal, porcini risotto, cheddar and yellow cheese.
