A Powerful Indigenous Red of Lycia Marked by Structured Tannins, Concentrated Black Fruit, and Long Cellaring Potential
Indigenous Lycia red identified within Likya’s Arkeo preservation program.
High-altitude cultivation producing robust structure and concentration.

Opaque ruby, violet and black cherry, powdery tannins, persistent finish.
Arya Özkan stands among the most structured and powerful of Lycia’s rediscovered red varieties. With an opaque ruby colour and intense aromas of violet, black cherry, and mulberry, this grape delivers a dry palate supported by high, powdery tannins and fresh acidity. Concentrated flavours of blueberry and blackberry, balanced with elevated alcohol, provide persistence and depth.
Its robust structure and aromatic intensity mark Arya Özkan as a variety with significant ageing potential and a key element in the safeguarding of Lycia’s viticultural heritage.
