Kavaklıdere Prestige Boğazkere 2018

A deep, structured red revealing Boğazkere’s earthy power through an elegant interpretation.

From Boğazkere’s historic terroir in southeastern Anatolia, this red expresses the full personality of a variety renowned for its structure and firm tannins. Ripe red and dark fruit is joined by dried plum, bramble and sweet spice, while French-oak ageing brings tobacco, leather and earthy nuances. Dense and full-bodied, the palate is defined by bright acidity and a powerful yet balanced tannic framework that gives the wine depth and persistence.

Founded in Ankara in 1929 by Sevda and Cenap And, Kavaklıdere Şarapları was the first private-sector wine producer of the young Turkish Republic. Nearly a century later, the house continues its ambition to reveal the diversity of Anatolian wine through its own vineyards across the country. From Cappadocia to the Inner Aegean, from Ankara to Elazığ, this geographic reach allows Kavaklıdere to work with each variety in the environment best suited to expressing its identity. The house combines this approach with parcel-focused viticulture, modern facilities and a longstanding commitment to showcasing Turkey’s indigenous grape varieties.
