Öküzgözü, a grape variety originating from Eastern Anatolia, is known for its large berries and high acidity. This grape, used in the production of Hazar Şirince Dömisek Kırmızı Şarap, typically embodies red fruit profiles such as plum and sour cherry. The semi-dry (dömisek) style is achieved by leaving a portion of the fermentable sugar in the product, which results in a softer and sweeter mouthfeel compared to dry wines.
