Genel bakış
Eastern & Southeastern Anatolia hakkında
Around Elazığ and Malatya, vineyards lie along the upper Euphrates at more than 1,000 metres, where winters are severe. This is the home of Öküzgözü, now the most widely planted red grape in Turkey, a fruity, fresh red with soft tannins. Further south-east, around Diyarbakır on the Tigris, dry-farmed bush vines of Boğazkere give dark, tannic wines that age for a decade or more.
The two grapes are traditionally blended, Öküzgözü for fruit and acidity and Boğazkere for structure. Kayra, in Elazığ, makes all of its Öküzgözü and Boğazkere wines here, and other producers buy grapes from these vineyards.
