Boğazkere
Boğazkere is a grape variety native to Turkey, specifically the Diyarbakır region. The name "Boğazkere" translates to "throat burner" in English, referring to the grape's high tannin content which gives the wine a robust and bold flavor.
History[edit | edit source]
The Boğazkere grape has a long history in Turkey, with evidence of viticulture in the region dating back to 4000 BC. The grape is believed to have originated in the southeastern part of the country, in the Diyarbakır region.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Boğazkere is a late-ripening grape variety, typically harvested in late September or early October. The grape is known for its high tannin content, which contributes to the wine's robust and bold flavor. The grape is also known for its resistance to diseases and pests, making it a popular choice for growers in the region.
Wine Production[edit | edit source]
Boğazkere is used to produce both varietal wines and blends. The grape's high tannin content makes it a good candidate for aging, with some wines capable of aging for up to 10 years. The wines produced from Boğazkere are typically full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and leather.
Food Pairing[edit | edit source]
Due to its robust flavor and high tannin content, Boğazkere wines pair well with rich, hearty dishes. This includes red meats, game, and strong cheeses.
