Four Seasons Pomegranate

Four Seasons Pomegranate is a Turkish pomegranate fruit wine in a 750ml bottle, fermented entirely from fresh squeezed pomegranate juice. Rooted in a winemaking tradition that traces back to the ancient world and biblical-era Turkey, this expression stands apart from most commercial fruit wines by using 100% pomegranate juice rather than concentrate or grape-wine blends.

Production & Heritage

Pomegranate wine production in Turkey dates back thousands of years, with the fruit deeply embedded in Anatolian agriculture and culture. Four Seasons Pomegranate is fermented from 100% fresh squeezed pomegranate juice — a distinction that separates it from many fruit wines on the market that rely on juice concentrates, artificial flavoring, or blending with conventional grape wine. The result is a wine that reflects the natural character of the pomegranate itself: bright acidity, deep ruby color, and a flavor profile that sits comfortably between wine and tart fruit juice.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet cherry and ripe pineapple emerge first, followed by a deeper pomegranate-skin earthiness. The nose is aromatic and inviting, carrying a noticeable fruitiness without cloying sweetness.

Taste: The palate opens with bright, tangy pomegranate juice character — noticeably tart and fruit-forward. Mid-palate delivers a gentle sweetness balanced by sharp natural acidity, giving the wine a lively, crisp structure uncommon in many fruit wines.

Finish: The finish is tart and clean, with lingering pomegranate seed astringency. It dries out gradually, leaving behind a pleasant puckering quality and subtle cherry echo.

How to Drink Four Seasons Pomegranate

Serve well chilled, ideally between 40–45°F (4–7°C), to highlight its bright acidity and fruit character. This wine also works over ice as a refreshing warm-weather pour. Try it in a Pomegranate Sangria, where its natural tartness replaces both red wine and citrus juice for a fruit-driven punch. It pairs naturally in a Kir variation, substituting for crème de cassis with a splash of dry sparkling wine to create a pomegranate-forward aperitif. A Pomegranate Spritz — mixing this wine with soda water and a squeeze of lime — delivers a low-effort, crowd-pleasing drink for casual gatherings.
