Kocabağ K of Kapadokya 2024 — Öküzgözü & Boğazkere

Discover two of Türkiye’s indigenous red grapes in equal measure: Öküzgözü and Boğazkere. Produced by family-owned Kocabağ in Cappadocia, this blend offers expressive fruit, a rounded texture and an approachable style.

The winery gently processes its grapes using a gravity-based system, while its rock-built cellars maintain naturally stable temperatures and humidity.

Deep cherry-red in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of cherry, red fruits and plum, complemented by subtle oak and cinnamon notes. The palate is medium-bodied and rounded, with soft tannins, balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish.
