Kayra Buzbağ Rezerv

Kayra is a prominent Turkish winery producing premium wines from Anatolia, considered to be the birthplace of wine.

The wines are made from unique local varieties as well as international ones, vinified using cutting edge modern techniques to produce award-winning results.  Their Elaziğ winery, located in Eastern Anatolia, was established in 1942 and is dedicated entirely to the production of red wines. Under the guidance of consultant winemaker Daniel O’Donnell, it is Kayra’s aim to reveal the true potential of Turkey and to bring their rich history and generous spirit to lovers of fine wine.

Their Buzbağ Rezerv is a bold and concentrated wine, full of ripe cherry and dried plum flavour, enhanced by secondary notes of toasted bread and cedar.

Powerful on the palate, with intense fruit flavour supported by structured tannins and a long, full finish.

Fun fact, the two grapes in this wine – Öküzgözü and Boğazkere translate as ‘bull’s eye’ and ‘throat scraper’ seperately, with one as wibbly and unstructured and one as closed and tannic as you’d expect. Put them together, however, and they harmonise perfectly.
