Antik Şirince Dömisek Şarap

Öküzgözü, one of Anatolia's characteristic grape varieties, forms the main component of this beverage. Defined as demi-sec in wine terminology, this product strikes a balance in residual sugar content between dry and sweet categories. The natural acidity of this Eastern Anatolian grape, combined with the slightly sweet structure of the demi-sec style, presents a softer profile on the palate. In this type, which is synonymous with the winemaking tradition of the Şirince region, the natural fruity character of the grape is emphasized.

Grape character and technical specifications

Öküzgözü, used in the production of Antik Şirince Dömisek Şarap, is known for its large berries and dark color. This beverage, containing 12% alcohol by volume, offers a more accessible structure compared to the tannic and robust nature of dry wines. From a gastronomic perspective, the preservation of sugar and acid balance provides a wide range of pairing potential. It is particularly suitable for consumption with pastries, red meat dishes, and various cheese groups, helping to maintain the beverage's structural properties.

Label and serving information

The ideal serving temperature for red wines of this type is slightly lower than for full-bodied dry reds. Antik Şirince Dömisek Şarap can be served a few degrees below room temperature for its fruit aromas to be more distinctly perceived. After opening the bottle, contact with air helps stabilize its aroma. Storing it in cool, dark areas is important to prevent structural degradation during the product's shelf life.
