Paşaeli K2 2022
 
A premium Aegean red blend from Paşaeli’s Kaynaklar vineyard near İzmir, combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
 
The vineyard was established in 2002 at approximately 235 metres above sea level, with stony, gravelly and red-clay soils providing excellent drainage. The Mediterranean climate brings long, warm and dry summers together with cooler, wetter winters, creating conditions suited to concentrated yet balanced red wines.
 
The grapes are carefully vinified in stainless steel with extended skin contact to build colour, flavour and structure. French oak maturation adds further complexity while allowing the dark-fruit character of the blend to remain at the centre of the wine.
 
In the glass, expect a deep crimson colour and layers of cassis, blackberry and dark fruit, accompanied by savoury notes, spice and subtle oak. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with polished tannins, freshness and a long, elegant finish.
 
K2 represents the more serious side of modern Turkish winemaking — combining classic international varieties with the distinctive terroir of Türkiye's Aegean coast.
 
If you enjoy Bordeaux-style Cabernet blends, K2 provides a fascinating Turkish expression with ripe fruit, structure and depth.
