Made from the indigenous Çal Karası grape, it opens with fresh cherry, sour cherry, red plum and forest fruit, followed by soft spice, a little earth and a gentle savoury edge. It is pale, aromatic and medium-bodied, with freshness rather than weight at its centre. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"757\"\u003eThe palate is silky, lively and beautifully drinkable, with soft red fruit, integrated tannins and a clean, fresh finish. There is a quiet rusticity here, but also real elegance, the kind of red that works brilliantly slightly chilled and makes you wonder why more people are not drinking Turkish native varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"759\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"759\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want something light, characterful and just a little unexpected.\u003cbr data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"843\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"857\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e grilled lamb, roast chicken, aubergine imam bayildi, mushroom pilaf, tomato-rich pasta, charred peppers, mezze, or lightly spiced köfte.\u003cbr data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"997\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a colour, it would be translucent ruby held up to the evening sun, bright at the edges and glowing with quiet warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003eKuzubağ Estate Winery was founded in 2007 by Salih Kuzu and Aslı Kuzu, a father and daughter team with roots in Çal, Denizli. Their work is centred on honouring the region’s long winemaking heritage and bringing native grapes such as Çal Karası to a wider audience. With high-altitude vineyards in Turkey’s inner Aegean and a focus on freshness, character and regional identity, Kuzubağ is helping show just how expressive modern Turkish wine can be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55496773337473,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023CalKarasi_Kuzubag.png?v=1779092708","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-cal-karasi-kuzubag","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
