Beykush Riesling is a limited-production wine that combines the nobility of Riesling with an atypical aging regime in French oak. The grapes are hand-picked at the end of October — the late harvest allows the berries to reach full phenolic ripeness while retaining the natural acidity for which Riesling is prized worldwide.
After harvest, the grapes undergo cold maceration for 12 hours at 4°C, then are pressed and fermented in stainless steel at 17°C. What follows is what sets this wine apart from most Rieslings: after fermentation, the wine is racked from gross lees and transferred to French oak barrels, where it ages for 12 months.
Oak-aging Riesling is a rare winemaking approach that few producers dare to attempt. The oak does not mask the varietal character but complements it, adding structure, subtle spice nuances, and the capacity for extended development in bottle. Only 850 bottles of this wine are produced each year, making every one a true find for the connoisseur.

Tasting Notes
Riesling is an aristocrat. Our Riesling has also gained experience in oak barrels—now its pineapple, lime and green apples are slightly spicy, with crispy toast in the background. At the same time, sourness and super freshness have remained.
This series of wines is named after the Beykush Bay, where our vineyards are located. Wines here are bright and have character—the result of our work with rare varieties and especially successful vintages. They will provide you with both—pleasure and a chance to understand what the Black Sea Coast is capable of.
