Traditionally the grapes were not getting pressed in press known from Europe for example; instead they were pressing the grapes in special classical grape-ships made out of wood.
You can choose between three different whites, one dessert, dry and with generous flavour, reassembling to a Portwine, one with pure fruit and crisp with a light bouquet and of course the traditional Akköy Wine, which with his golden colour and its muscular taste seems to assume almost a cognac aroma. With a volume with 14-16 percent we produced ecological harmonic wines. The class of the grapes didn't belong to the classe supérieure, for us it was important to follow the tradition of our village of Akköy and producing wine out of the local grapes of our domain and having finally an authentic wine.
