Antique Bornova Misket

Antique Bornova Misket is produced from Bornova Misketi grapes, an important representative of the ancient viticultural heritage of the Aegean Region. This grape variety, a member of the Muscat family, offers technical depth in white wine production with its high aromatic compounds and thin skin structure. The classification of the product as semi-sweet indicates that some natural sugar is left during the fermentation process, aiming for a rounded texture on the palate. Such productions, blended with Şirince's wine culture, aim to preserve the natural character of the grape.

Bornova Misketi characteristics

Bornova Misketi is historically considered an endemic variety belonging to İzmir and its surroundings. This grape variety yields wines with high terpene content in technical analyses; this ensures that fruity and herbal notes become prominent in the final product. Antique Bornova Misket, with its monovarietal structure, directly reflects the characteristic features of the grape. The wine's acidity balance and residual sugar content are structured to provide the balance required for the semi-sweet style.

Label and serving information

The 12% alcohol by volume stated on the label is a standard ratio that supports the wine's medium-bodied structure. This white wine, presented in 750 ml bottles, should be served chilled between 8-10 degrees Celsius for its ideal taste profile to emerge. In wine literature, semi-sweet wines are evaluated across a wide spectrum due to the contrast between their acidic structure and slight sweetness. It is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and at a constant temperature to preserve its quality.
