Boğazkere | Local Wine Variety From Diyarbakır Province, Turkiye | TasteAtlas

Boğazkere

Boğazkere is a native Turkish grape originating from Diyarbakır, but it is now grown in other Turkish regions. The grape is best known for its ability to produce powerful, tannic wines. Because of its character, it is often used in blends to provide body and structure.


It is mainly blended with the aromatic Öküzgözü. Boğazkere wines are full-bodied, with grippy tannins and good acidity. They are filled with a fruity aroma, typically reminiscent of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries, often accompanied by spicy, tobacco, leather-like, and cocoa notes.


These richly-flavored wines can age well, and they tend to become softer with age. Boğazkere wines can pair with equally strong dishes. It would go well with red meat, game, lamb, stews, and hearty vegetable dishes.
