WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sava Classic by Sava is produced using a blend of Shiraz and Öküzgözü grapes. The winemaking process likely involves controlled fermentation, possibly in stainless steel, to manage the extraction of flavor and structure. Following fermentation, the wine may be aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and soften its profile. The harvest is timed to ensure optimal ripeness of the grapes in the Denizli region. The overall approach focuses on creating a classic, well-balanced red wine that highlights the characteristics of its varietal blend and origin.
