Kalecik Karası
(KK)
Kalecik Karası is a native Turkish grape that probably originated in Kalecik district of Central Anatolia. The grape is not well-known outside Turkey, but it is slowly gaining international recognition. It is considered one of the finest Turkish grapes.
Kalecik Karası produces light to medium-bodied wines, often described as a cross between Pinot Noir and Gamay. They are typically cherry-colored with a fruity aroma reminiscent of red berries. On the palate, they are smooth and velvety, with good acidity and soft tannins.
They often display earthy and herbal nuances, while those aged in oak have subtle vanilla, cocoa, or spicy aromas. This wine pairs nicely with local specialties and lighter dishes, especially those made with poultry, fish, or vegetables.
