Turasan Rose 2009

Rose wine is a product that didn't use to be so much drunk in Turkey; but the last two years it has begun to attract and seduce more and more consumers. And that is a very good thing. This wine is both cheap and very easy to drink with many common dishes.

Since the 2007 vintage Turasan produces a Rose wine, blend of Kalecik Karasi and Öküzgözü.
This Rose wine is produced by bleeding. It is the result of a short maceration of the juice with the skins. After only a few hours of maceration, when we get the desired color, the juice is separated from the skins and then vinified like a white wine.


Turasan Rose 2009 is a blend of 65% of Kalecik Karasifrom a vineyard located in Kalecik and35% of Öküzgözü from vineyards in the Elazig region.

 

This wine has a bright pink color with blue hints. Its nose is equally brilliant as its color: grenadine syrup, strawberry, black currant, black cherry and kirsch mingle with more spicy notes of pepper and licorice.

The mouth is a subtle balance between the acidity of 2009 vintage and the natural roundness of the wine. It is expressed by aromas of grenadine syrup, caramel, candied apple and a fruity finish of black currant and strawberry.

Like almost all rose wines, it should be drunk cool within three years. In summer at 6-8 °C, the rest of the year at 8-10 °C.
