Çalkarası Rosé – Denizli

Çalkarası is the native red grape grown on the plateaux of Çal in Denizli, above 800 metres. Thin-skinned and pale, it is mostly made into rosé. This wine gets its pale salmon colour from brief skin contact.

Tasting notes

Strawberry, raspberry, grapefruit and a touch of spice; dry, fresh and lively.

For the terrace

One of the wines we suggest most often for sunset on the terrace; its light structure makes a balanced partner for cheese boards and cold small plates.

Pairing

Grilled halloumi and fig, smoked aubergine with tahini, and Kayseri pastırma.

We serve Çalkarası rosé at 8 – 10 °C. The acidity preserved by cool nights on Denizli's high plateaux is what gives the rosé its freshness; the wine on our list is made by a regional cooperative.

Note: this wine is served only on the premises to guests aged 18 and over; our website shows no prices, promotions or sales.
