Pendore - Öküzgözü
Pendore vineyards are located near the town Kemaliye in the Aegean Region. The name Pendore comes from the Latin “pence horyos”, which means “Five Villages”. Öküzgözü grapes are grown 350 m above sea level and the soil is composed of clay, limestone and gravel. The vineyard is located in a special micro-climate spot where continental and Mediterranean climates meet. Grown with low yield (50 hl/ ha) and harvested by hand at their highest level of maturity, the grapes are processed in with a gravity system (where the grapes are carried via gravity without being bruised by pumps). Pendore Öküzgözü is a terroir wine which has charming forest fruits aromas and a lively acidity very well balanced with soft tannins.
