Pasaeli Karasakiz "6N" 2021

The Karasakız variety is native to north Kaz Dağları and this indigenous varietal has grown as bush vines in this area of Turkey for centuries. While often compared to old-vine Zinfandel or Grenache on the palate, there is no genetic evidence to support the claim. Harvested from a single vineyard at an altitude of 550 meters, the wine is fermented with native yeast only before aging for 6 months in French and American oak barrels. Flavors: Red cherry & cranberry, dry fig, with a hint of earthy spice overtones

Similar to: A lighter bodied red Zinfandel
