Characterized by vibrant acidity and moderate tannins, these wines typically exhibit flavors of dark cherries, plums, and blackberries, often accented by herbal and spicy notes. Öküzgözü, often blended with another native grape, Boğazkere, showcases Turkey's rich viticultural heritage and is gaining recognition on the international wine scene.
