Ritüel Çalkarası & Shiraz

Ritüel Çalkarası & Shiraz is a blend that reflects the viticultural traditions unique to Bekilli district of Denizli, located in the inner parts of the Aegean Region. The Çal Karası grape is known as a local variety of the Denizli region and typically serves as a cornerstone in the production of light-bodied, high-acidity, vibrant red fruit-character wines. The globally widespread Shiraz (Syrah) grape accompanies this blend with its body structure and spice notes, creating a balanced profile.

Grape Varieties and Regional Character

The Bekilli region, with its high altitude and continental climate, allows grapes to ripen slowly. This helps maintain the acidity balance in the wine. The Çal Karası grapes in Ritüel Çalkarası & Shiraz have adapted to the region's soil, generally yielding light-colored and smooth-drinking results. Blending with Shiraz grapes increases the wine's structural depth and highlights the characteristic features of this dry-style beverage.

Label and Serving Information

The 13% alcohol content and 1000 ml volume indicated on the product label represent this red wine's standard liter-scale presentation. Its classification as a dry wine indicates that the amount of fermentable sugar is minimal and it contains no sweetness. For the wine to express the aromas of the grapes during serving, it is recommended to store it at ideal room temperature or in a slightly cool environment. After the cork is opened, the product's contact with air contributes to the release of aromatic compounds.
