Papazkarası | Local Wine Variety From Central Anatolia Region, Turkiye | TasteAtlas

Papazkarası

(Papaskara)

Papazkarası or Papaskara is a Turkish grape cultivated in Marmara and Central Anatolia regions. The grape produces juicy red wines that are intensely colored and usually have high alcohol content and good acidity. The aromas are subtle and reminiscent of red and dark berries, with hints of pepper and spices.


The wines are versatile, and though they are commonly enjoyed young, some are also suitable for oak-aging. They are fruity and food-friendly, making excellent pairing with chicken, pork, lamb, and vegetables. It is suggested that the grape might have Greek origins, where it is still sometimes cultivated under the name Kara Papas.


Research also showed that the grape's possible parents are white Romanian variety Alba Imputotato and Prokupac, a red variety commonly found in the Balkans.
