Gold Rumeli Hardaliye

Hardaliye is a natural, traditional beverage dating back nearly 500 years to the Ottoman period. It is the first product from our region to receive a geographical indication. As recorded by Evliya
Çelebi in the 17th century, mustard seeds were added to freshly harvested grapes in the Balkans to prevent fermentation, while sour cherry or quince leaves enhanced the aroma. This unique method gave the drink its name: Hardaliye.

Today, Hardaliye is enjoyed mainly in Türkiye’s Aegean and Marmara regions. Made from red–black aromatic grapes, mustard seeds, and a touch of vinegar, it offers a sharp, lightly spiced flavor and is best served chilled.

Rich in phenolic compounds, Hardaliye is known for its natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, contributing positively to overall well-being.

We are proud to deliver the authentic taste of Kırklareli’s heritage to homes across the world.

Common grape varieties used are Cabernet, Merlot, Shiraz, Öküzgözü, Pamit, Papazkarası, Cardinal, and Alphonse.

Gold:

With a smooth, soft taste and a pronounced grape aroma, this variety pairs especially well with white meats such as fish and chicken. Made exclusively from Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, one of the finest grape varieties, it is harvested at peak season and gently crushed. Black mustard seeds and sour cherry leaves are added, and the mixture undergoes an average fermentation
period of 45 days in vats. Once it reaches ideal drinkability, it is bottled and offered for consumption.

Serve chilled for best taste.
