Vintage

The winter temperatures were in the norm and there was a fresh spring with a little late budbreak. The summer was quite fresh with few precipitation and a high thermic differential. The maximum temperatures never exceeded 35°C and the minimum during August were under 15°C and under 10°C in September. All these factors provided an excellent quality of the grapes due also to a reduced production and a perfect sanity of the grapes.

The Vineyard –  Kalecik / Ankara

Vinkara’s Kalecik vineyard is located northeast of Ankara in the Mid-Northern Anatolia province. At an altitude of 2,000 feet the vineyard is surrounded by nearby mountains and the Kızılırmak River. The river creates an extraordinary mesoclimate for producing wines with naturally high acidity that are powerfully complex. Due to these unique weather conditions, the most prominent grape cultivated in Kalecik carries the name of the region. Kalecik Karası is one of the three most important red grape varieties in Turkey.

Ideal Food Match

Vinkara Doruk Kalecik Karası Red Wine is recommended to be served at 16-18°C and matches perfectly with light pasta dishes, braised meats, lamb, and aged cheese.
