Thia Blush Şarap

Grape Varieties and Terroir Characteristics

Thia Blush is produced by blending Kalecik Karası, a characteristic Anatolian grape, with Shiraz, an international variety. Kalecik Karası grapes are known for their thin skins and delicate fruit aromas, while Shiraz contributes body and a distinct aromatic intensity to the blend. The short maceration process used in pink wine production allows for controlled extraction of color compounds from the grape skins, creating the product's light pink hue. This demi-sec style product exhibits a soft texture on the palate due to residual sugar obtained by halting fermentation at a specific stage.

Label and Serving Information

The term 'demi-sec' on wine labels indicates that the product contains a specific grammage of natural sugar per liter and has a drinking profile that is not entirely dry. Thia Blush has balanced acidity with a 13% alcohol content. Fruity pink wines, frequently encountered in Şirince and the Aegean region's wine culture, are typically served chilled between 8-10 degrees Celsius to maintain their ideal temperature balance. Lower temperatures help highlight the product's aromatic components and sense of freshness. The product is recommended to be served in thin-stemmed glasses and should be stored in environments away from sunlight and at a constant temperature.
