In contrast, our PRODUCERS AT WAYANA format aims to create intimate, small-scale meetings between producers and wine lovers. At our tastings, members of the production team directly present their wines and tell their stories. In the first part of the event, the WAYANA kitchen prepares food pairings based on the wines selected by the producer. We taste and talk. In the second part, the atmosphere shifts into a lively, informal mix of conversation and open tasting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After launching this series, we made it a point to visit each producer beforehand. We saw how much value these visits added to the experience. So, on Friday, July 18, we took a working trip to Vinkara's facility in Kalecik.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As soon as you enter the Vinkara facility, there\u2019s a door and an elevator to your left. Open the door and you find yourself in the lab. That\u2019s where I first saw Canda\u015f, who welcomed me with a quick hello and got straight to the point. He led me through the production area, and we stopped in front of the presses.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Vinkara is based in Kalecik, and nearly half of their production (46%) is dedicated to Kalecik Karas\u0131. This variety is vinified into Blanc de Noir, ros\u00e9, red, and sparkling wines. Other indigenous grapes include Narince, Hasandede, and Bornova Misketi for whites, and \u00d6k\u00fczg\u00f6z\u00fc and Bo\u011fazkere for reds. International varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah make up only about 8% of total production.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One step in sparkling wine production is the gradual rotation of bottles at a specific angle to bring the yeast sediment to the neck. This process, called remuage, takes a long time.
