Kolorko – Bozcaada

Kolorko is Bozcaada's best-known native white grape, grown on the island's sandy, calcareous soils under a constant north wind. Wind and sea give it a saline, mineral character.

Tasting notes

Lemon, green plum, white flowers and sea salt; light to medium body, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.

Island wines

Bozcaada's vineyards are small and fragmented, and production is limited. Together with the island's other native whites, Vasilaki and Çavuş, Kolorko has shared the table with the island's fresh fish and wild-green dishes for centuries.

Pairing

Excellent with octopus and fava, sea bass crudo and baked sea bass.

Serving

We serve Kolorko at 9 – 11 °C. Because island production is limited, it may be missing from our list in some months; our sommelier will then suggest the island's other whites, such as Vasilaki.

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