When we look at the names of grapes in Turkish, they immediately show that they have taken these names from daily life. This is not just for grapes. Ayşe Kadın beans, Koçbaşı chickpeas and Kirli Hanım cheese are the products of this approach. The grape name of Fox Tail wine, which we encountered while choosing the wines of WAYANA Wine House in Kadıköy, Istanbul, made similar connotations.

We have a relationship with Likya Wines that we have enjoyed for many years. We see that devotion, which is the basic condition of producing wine, finds its full value both in their products and in the way they follow. Besides the main challenges posed by wine farming, their effort to discover new grapes with inexhaustible energy is commendable.

Foxtail is one of the forgotten grapes of Elmalı region. Another name it is known in the region is Muğren Grape. It has been recorded that the Foxtail has both white and red species. While the Red Foxtail grows only in the Elmalı region, its white specimens are grown in different places. The people of the region say that there is also a delicious molasses obtained from grapes.

Lycian Wines have produced an extremely aromatic rosé wine from Fox Tail. Wine lovers encounter very strong and rich floral aromas on the nose. Light bodied salmon colored wine. It has flavors that meet your palate with high acidity, vibrant, red fruits such as cherries and raspberries. The finish is long enough for the cherry flavor to leave a mark.

This year, Lycian Wines also touched the packaging of Fox Tail wine. It comes with a more modern, mischievous label. How would you like to cool off with a cold Foxtail rosé these days when we are starting to feel the effect of the hot weather late this year?
