Emir - Description and characteristics of the Emir vine
Origin
The Emir vine comes from central southern Anatolia and is a native white grape from Cappadocia.
Features
Most of the grapes are planted in Nevsehir Province. Emir got its name (Emir = ruler / lord) due to the fact that it was a very popular wine at the tables of the local gentlemen.
Emir has been used to create crisp, refreshing wines since Roman times. Emir grapes produce straw yellow wines with green reflections, known for their aromas of green apples and minerals on the nose.
On the palate, the grape produces lively, crisp wines with a high acidity. Emir is also used to make sparkling wine. Emir wines cannot be matured well in the barrel because they do not harmonize with the wood. The wine should usually be tasted within 1-2 years.
