Boğazkere is a Turkish grape variety originating from the Eliaziğ Province near the Tigris River in Southeastern Turkey. It has a very dark, red garnet color. On the nose it is very rich and strong with aromas of dried red fruits and spices. Boğazkere is a rich grape -very well structured and strong with and enjoyable finish. Boğazkere literally means “Burning Throat” so with this in mind it is no wonder often combined with the softer, lighter Öküzgözü grape. Kayra’s Buzbag Rezerv is a beautiful wine that combines the two.
