Şirince Late harvest beyaz tatlı şarap

Late harvest wine production is based on the principle of leaving grapes on the vines longer than the normal harvest time, allowing them to lose water and increase sugar concentration. Şirince Late harvest beyaz tatlı şarap is prepared using this method with Emir, a characteristic white grape variety of Central Anatolia. Emir grapes are typically known for their high acidity and mineral structure. When late harvested, this structure combines with the natural sugar concentration in the fruit to create a distinctive profile.

Grape Character and Production Method

The Emir grape used in the production process is a native Turkish variety grown in the volcanic soils of the Cappadocia region. The term 'late harvest' refers to allowing the grape berries to shrivel slightly and dry on the vine. This results in a denser texture and a pronounced sweetness level in the liquid obtained after fermentation. This product, offered by Derinbağ, combines Şirince's deep-rooted viticultural culture with Anatolia's local grape genetics.

Label and Serving Information

Şirince Late harvest beyaz tatlı şarap is presented in 500 ml glass bottles with an alcohol content of 12.5%. This volume is a standard measure preferred for the concentrated nature of sweet wines. Technically, it is recommended to store the wine in cool, dark environments with stable temperatures to preserve its characteristics. Maintaining the ideal serving temperature range of 8-10 degrees Celsius for white sweet wines is important for perceiving the grape's aromatic components.
