Kayra Buzbag White

‘Buzbağ’ means Ice Vineyard and takes its name from the ice caves of Harput, a historic city in Eastern Anatolia. The Emir grapes for this wine are grown in Kayra’s Nevşehir vineyard and the Narince grapes in their Tokat vineyard. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatics. 

The result is a blend of native grapes showing a lemon colour with green hues, and the delicate Narince aromas of lemon and freshly squeezed grapefruit shining through. Hints of apricot and lychee add to the palate, enhanced by the rich texture of the Emir before a deliciously zesty finish. Try with stuffed vine leaves (Dolma), roasted aubergine and peppers, sashimi and fried fish, or even Thai-style noodles or curry.

Kayra use cutting edge winemaking to produce great award-winning wines using indigenous grapes from the Anatolia region of Turkey, an area considered by many to be the birthplace of wine. Under the guidance of consultant winemaker Daniel O’Donnell, it is Kayra’s aim to reveal the true potential of Turkey and to bring their rich history and generous spirit to lovers of fine wine.
