Kavaklıdere Yakut

Yakut is one of Turkey’s most iconic red wines, loved for its fruity character and smooth texture. It’s made from a blend of indigenous grapes, including Öküzgözü, Boğazkere, Alicante, and Carignan.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red color. The nose opens with ripe cherries, blackberries, and touches of plum. Hints of clove, licorice, and pepper add subtle depth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and well-structured. Bright red fruit leads the way, balanced by gentle tannins and soft acidity. The wine has a smooth texture and a spicy, fruit-driven finish.

This red pairs well with grilled meats, hearty pastas, and Mediterranean dishes. It also complements mild cheeses and roasted vegetables. Serve slightly below room temperature for the best experience.

Kavaklidere Yakut is a reliable everyday red that reflects the richness of Anatolian vineyards. Its balance of fruit, spice, and freshness makes it approachable yet satisfying. Whether you’re exploring Turkish wines or already a fan, Kavaklıdere Yakut offers both tradition and quality in every bottle.
