Sevilen Majestik Syrah & Kalecik Karası 2019
A vibrant Turkish red that brings together the richness of Syrah with one of Türkiye’s most celebrated indigenous grapes, Kalecik Karası.
Syrah provides the wine with dark fruit, spice and structure, while Kalecik Karası adds freshness, bright red fruit and an elegant, silky character. The result is a beautifully balanced and approachable red with aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle peppery spice and gentle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, juicy and smooth, with soft tannins and refreshing acidity carrying the fruit through to an easy, lingering finish.
For anyone beginning to explore Turkish wine, this is a fantastic introduction to Kalecik Karası — familiar enough through the Syrah to feel immediately approachable, while still showcasing the distinctive character of Türkiye’s native grapes.
