Description

Diren Mahlep is a unique Turkish wine made from the Mahlep (or Mahaleb) cherry, which is actually a wild cherry species traditionally used as a spice in Turkish cuisine rather than for winemaking. Here are the typical tasting notes for Diren Mahlep:

  • Appearance: Bright, deep garnet red.
  • Aroma: Intense and aromatic, with distinct notes of sour cherry, wild cherry, and cranberry. There’s also a noticeable almond-like spiciness, often accompanied by floral hints and subtle earthiness.
  • Palate: Light to medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity. Flavors are driven by tart red fruits, such as cherry and pomegranate, with a touch of herbal spiciness and a unique almond-like bitterness that adds complexity. Soft tannins give it a smooth, light mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Clean, with a tart cherry and almond aftertaste that lingers, leaving a refreshing, slightly bitter edge.

Diren Mahlep pairs well with dishes featuring game meats, duck, or lamb. It also complements Mediterranean mezze, especially dishes with earthy, nutty, or mildly spiced flavors.
